Clearly, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M10 with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Leica M10 will give extra detail with its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger M10 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
