In many cases, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SD10 and W710.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SD10 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony W710 will give more detail having an extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older SD10 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
