Sometimes, it is very tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z990 and H90.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony H90 to deliver greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged Z990 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
