The M580 was revealed 24 months before the PX which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a short highlight of how the M580 grades vs the PX in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

In case you're going to travel with your camera regularly, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Normally, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing technical specs. The pic underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M580 and PX.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Ricoh PX to provide extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M580 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
