Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over a spec sheet. The graphic below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Finepix Z90 and L31.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Nikon L31 to offer extra detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older Finepix Z90 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
