Plainly, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The A900 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Nikon A900 will produce extra detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher A900 provides an edge in sensor innovation.
