As you can see, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon M100 to resolve more detail having its extra 18MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern M100 will have an edge in sensor technology.
