Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SD10 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A900 will result in more detail because of its extra 22MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SD10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
