Normally, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic here might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E90 and RZ10.

As you can tell, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Pentax RZ10 to result in greater detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged E90 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
