Pentax K110D vs Pentax H90 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by viewing specs. The picture underneath will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the K110D and H90.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The K110D due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Pentax H90 will result in more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more aged K110D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
