Normally, it is tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions only by seeing specifications. The pic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FZ35 and HX10V.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony HX10V to provide more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FZ35 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
