Using size and weight, the portability rating of the ST90 and fp is 99 and 84 respectively.

In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements purely by viewing technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the ST90 and fp.

As you can tell, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ST90 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will render extra detail using its extra 11MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots way more aggressively. The older ST90 will be behind in sensor innovation.
