Generally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The image here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the C140 and H90.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The C140 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Pentax H90 will provide you with extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged C140 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
