Oftentimes, its difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by reading through specs. The image underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Z990 and P600.
All in all, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can expect to see the Nikon P600 to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged Z990 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
