Canon M10 vs Sony A7c Sensor Comparison
Generally, its tough to visualize the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing specs. The photograph here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and A7c.
As you can plainly see, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M10 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Sony A7c will provide you with extra detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older M10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
