Normally, its tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by looking at a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and Fujifilm X-E1.

As you can see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Canon M10 to resolve greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent M10 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
