To sum up, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The M3 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon M3 will produce more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics more aggressively. The older M3 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
