Plainly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sigma SD14 to show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged SD10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
