Sometimes, its hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizes simply by researching technical specs. The picture below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 MII and SX700 HS.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M6 MII featuring a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M6 MII will result in more detail having its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger M6 MII should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
