Plainly, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M580 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Kodak M580 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M580 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
