Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-Z90 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Fujifilm X-A5 will offer you greater detail having an extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The older EX-Z90 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
