Typically, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The pic here will give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the TX10 and W830.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony W830 to result in more detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged TX10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
