Often, it is very tough to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading through specifications. The picture here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the E90 and RZ18.

Plainly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Pentax RZ18 to give more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged E90 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
