Look at the Sony QX10 versus Sony QX100 in the new Camera and Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have during that time. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the QX10 compared to the QX100.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the QX10 and QX100 is 96 and 92 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements simply by going over specifications. The graphic here will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the QX10 and QX100.

To sum up, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The QX10 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony QX100 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images somewhat more aggressively.
