All in all, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony H300 to offer greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older Q10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
