Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a concise summary of how the M590 matches up vs the L32 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak M590 and Nikon Coolpix L32. The full galleries are provided at Kodak M590 Gallery and Nikon L32 Gallery.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are using at that moment. Below is the front view dimensions comparison of the M590 versus the L32.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M590 and L32 is 99 and 93 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by seeing specifications. The image below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and L32.

To sum up, both of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M590 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Nikon L32 will provide extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged M590 will be behind in sensor tech.
