Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is the front view physical size comparison of the M590 versus the RX100 III.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M590 and RX100 III is 99 and 89 respectively.

Quite often, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing specs. The graphic here might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M590 and RX100 III.

All in all, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M590 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 III will show more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older M590 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
