Oftentimes, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the K-50 and T90.

As you have seen, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The K-50 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Pentax K-50 will render more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern K-50 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
