Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing specs. The pic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the M590 and T900.

All in all, each of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M590 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Kodak M590 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The newer M590 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
