Oftentimes, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by going over a spec sheet. The image below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the T90 and W380.

As you can see, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony W380 to offer you extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged T90 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
