Quite often, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by checking specs. The graphic below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z90 and Fujifilm XF1.

All in all, both of the cameras offer the same exact megapixel count but not the same sensor measurements. The EX-Z90 has the tinier sensor which is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging. The older EX-Z90 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
