As you have seen, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic SZ10 to result in greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The older P90 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
