Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by going through a spec sheet. The picture here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the S95 and M580.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S95 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Kodak M580 will produce greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images more aggressively. The younger S95 should have an edge in sensor technology.
