Normally, it's tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at specifications. The visual here will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-S200 and M1.

To sum up, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-S200 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the YI M1 will give more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-S200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
