Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing simply by looking at technical specs. The visual below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ST90 and TX66.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony TX66 to give more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older ST90 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
