As you can tell, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The HZ10W having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Samsung HZ10W will result in greater detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HZ10W will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
