To sum up, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon A900 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher A900 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
