In many cases, its tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out specifications. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M100 and RX100 II.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M100 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M100 will show more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern M100 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
