Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through technical specs. The graphic below should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the S230 and T90.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony T90 to give you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively.
