Normally, its tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M100 and GF5.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M100 featuring a larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon M100 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher M100 should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
