As you have seen, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon M10 to produce extra detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged 40D will be behind in sensor innovation.
