Samsung HZ10W vs Sony A7c Sensor Comparison
Usually, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through technical specs. The graphic below might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the HZ10W and A7c.
As you can tell, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The HZ10W due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A7c will give greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older HZ10W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
