Normally, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the K-7 and H90.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The K-7 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony H90 will resolve more detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged K-7 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
