All in all, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SD1 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Sony QX10 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older SD1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
