Quite often, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes simply by viewing specifications. The image underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A900 and P1000.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Nikon A900 to result in more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged A900 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
