In many cases, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by looking through a spec sheet. The image here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the M100 and HX50V.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M100 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M100 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger M100 provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
