Normally, it's hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reading a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S90 and H70.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S90 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony H70 will offer you more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged S90 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
