Often, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions only by looking at specifications. The image underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-Z90 and Z50.

To sum up, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-Z90 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Nikon Z50 will give you extra detail using its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z90 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
