Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M590 because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon S7000 will provide greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The older M590 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
