Usually, it is difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The graphic here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M590 and SL620.

As you have seen, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M590 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Kodak M590 will give extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The fresher M590 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
