Oftentimes, its tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over technical specs. The visual here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the M and GX-10.

As you can tell, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon M to offer extra detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The younger M is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
