Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The HZ10W because of its tinier sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Samsung HZ10W will resolve greater detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older HZ10W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
