All in all, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Nikon S810c to render more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older P90 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
