The ST65 was announced 3 years prior to the QX10 which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Samsung ST65 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony QX10 being a Lens-style camera.

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the ST65 matches up vs the QX10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

For those who are going to carry around your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Samsung ST65 provides exterior dimensions of 92mm x 53mm x 17mm (3.6" x 2.1" x 0.7") and a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) whilst the Sony QX10 has proportions of 62mm x 62mm x 33mm (2.4" x 2.4" x 1.3") having a weight of 105 grams (0.23 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Below is the front view physical size comparison of the ST65 versus the QX10.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the ST65 and QX10 is 99 and 96 respectively.

Generally, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by going over specifications. The image here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the ST65 and QX10.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Sony QX10 to offer more detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ST65 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
