Generally, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the L10 and SD10.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The L10 because of its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic L10 will provide extra detail having its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The fresher L10 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
