Usually, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements just by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and A6400.

Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Sony A6400 to result in greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The older M10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
