Typically, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The photograph below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M6 and NX1100.

To sum up, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon M6 to render more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger M6 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
