Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the D90 and SD10.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Nikon D90 to provide extra detail having its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent D90 will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
