In many cases, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and A7R II.

Clearly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M590 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A7R II will deliver extra detail having its extra 28MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged M590 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
