Kodak M590 vs Sony TX7 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M590 and TX7.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M590 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Kodak M590 will render greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher M590 should have an advantage in sensor technology.
