All in all, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M10 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Leica M10 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The fresher M10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
