Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The pic here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G15 and H90.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G15 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony H90 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher G15 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
