Generally, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by researching a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the M100 and JZ500.

Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M100 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon M100 will render extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more recent M100 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
