Typically, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and H90.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Pentax H90 to offer you more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
