Normally, it can be hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching technical specs. The graphic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M6 and GX9.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M6 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M6 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older M6 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
