As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm XP70 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the YI M1 will show greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm XP70 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
