Quite often, it can be tough to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The graphic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 7000 and HX10V.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony HX10V to result in extra detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older 7000 will be behind in sensor technology.
