To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M10 having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon M10 will offer you more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern M10 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
