The following is a in depth comparison of the Olympus 9000 versus Sony H90, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the 9000 (12MP) and H90 (16MP) but they come with the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The 9000 was brought out 3 years before the H90 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a thorough comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the 9000 grades versus the H90 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus Stylus 9000 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H90. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus 9000 Gallery and Sony H90 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor its weight and volume.

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through specs. The pic here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the 9000 and H90.

All in all, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony H90 to produce more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 9000 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
