To sum up, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony H90 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older P90 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
