More often than not, its tough to see the contrast in sensor sizes just by going through specifications. The image underneath will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ100 and H90.

To sum up, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Sony H90 to show more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FZ100 will be behind in sensor innovation.
