Generally, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by going through a spec sheet. The image underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TS10 and HX5.
Clearly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The TS10 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic TS10 will provide greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images far more aggressively.
