Usually, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the M5 and Z fc.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Canon M5 to offer you greater detail using its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older M5 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
