Plainly, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S01 having a smaller sensor will make getting bokeh harder and the Sony T90 will provide greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern S01 is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
