Typically, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 180 and M590.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 180 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon ELPH 180 will produce more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern ELPH 180 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
