Sometimes, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor sizes merely by researching technical specs. The image underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M590 and 5010.

As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact megapixel count albeit different sensor sizes. The M590 includes the smaller sensor which will make getting shallower DOF more difficult. The more recent M590 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
