All in all, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M10 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M10 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern M10 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
