All in all, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm XQ2 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Kodak M590 will result in greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm XQ2 should have an edge in sensor tech.
