Often, it's difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the H90 and RX10 II.

Clearly, both cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The H90 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX10 II will result in more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older H90 will be behind in sensor technology.
