Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by seeing specifications. The photograph here will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB700 and H90.

Plainly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Sony H90 to produce greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older WB700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
