Often, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through specifications. The picture underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FH22 and QX10.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony QX10 to produce more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FH22 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
