Oftentimes, its tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading specs. The picture underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the FH10 and ZV-1.
All in all, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FH10 with its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Sony ZV-1 will offer you greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged FH10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
