Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SD10 featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony W370 will resolve more detail due to its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged SD10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
