Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through specifications. The image here will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the SD15 and HX90V.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SD15 because of its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony HX90V will resolve more detail due to its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged SD15 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
