More often than not, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SD10 and S950.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SD10 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony S950 will show more detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older SD10 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
