Clearly, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M6 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M6 will give you extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The older M6 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
