Sometimes, it is very tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The image here may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M590 and TX66.

As you have seen, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M590 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony TX66 will result in extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M590 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
