More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing simply by viewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SD10 and A7c.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SD10 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A7c will provide you with greater detail with its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older SD10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
