Usually, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S90 and Fujifilm JZ200.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S90 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Fujifilm JZ200 will resolve more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older S90 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
