All in all, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M380 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Kodak M590 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older M380 will be behind in sensor innovation.
