All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M10 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica M10 will offer extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a good deal more aggressively.
