Often, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by researching technical specs. The image underneath will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the ST600 and TX10.

As you have seen, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony TX10 to result in extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged ST600 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
