Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through specifications. The picture here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G10 and QX10.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G10 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony QX10 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged G10 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
