In many cases, it is tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by viewing specifications. The pic here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 and SX600 HS.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The M6 due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon M6 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent M6 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
