More often than not, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements just by seeing technical specs. The graphic here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M590 and WX9.

As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M590 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony WX9 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively.
