Sometimes, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the FZ28 and H90.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Pentax H90 to offer you extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FZ28 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
