Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus SP-590 UZ is 42g lighter than the Olympus SP-600 UZ but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the SP-590 UZ has a big advantage over the SP-600 UZ which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus SP-590 UZ and Olympus SP-600 UZ's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 2.70 inches.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
