More often than not, it is tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading specs. The image here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M590 and S6400.

All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M590 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon S6400 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged M590 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
