More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and D5500.

Clearly, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M590 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Nikon D5500 will offer you extra detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older M590 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
