Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the HZ10W and fp L.
As you can see, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The HZ10W using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sigma fp L will provide you with greater detail using its extra 51MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The older HZ10W will be behind in sensor technology.
