Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SP-590 UZ due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Olympus SP-590 UZ will give you greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The younger SP-590 UZ should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
