Sometimes, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through specifications. The graphic below should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the SZ-10 and WB1100F.

Plainly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Samsung WB1100F to resolve extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older SZ-10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
