As you can see, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon M100 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer M100 will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
