Typically, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through specifications. The picture below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the ST150F and QX10.

Plainly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony QX10 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged ST150F will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
