The S1000pj was announced 3 years prior to the H90 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the S1000pj scores vs the H90 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix S1000pj and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H90. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon S1000pj Gallery and Sony H90 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor its weight and measurements.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1000pj and H90.

As you have seen, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H90 to produce more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older S1000pj will be behind in sensor technology.
