Normally, it is hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by seeing specs. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 and E-450.

All in all, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M6 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M6 will show greater detail using its extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The younger M6 provides a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
