Often, it is hard to see the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and T99.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical MP albeit not the same sensor measurements. The M590 has the tinier sensor which should make obtaining shallower DOF tougher.
