More often than not, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the M6 and GF7.

As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The M6 because of its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M6 will produce greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The fresher M6 provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
