Typically, it is very difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements only by going through technical specs. The visual underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the D90 and SD14.

As you have seen, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon D90 to produce greater detail due to its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more recent D90 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
