Usually, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specs. The image here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 8010 and TX100V.
All in all, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You can count on the Sony TX100V to provide extra detail with its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 8010 will be behind in sensor innovation.
