In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The picture below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the M and NX10.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Canon M to provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern M provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
