Normally, it is very tough to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking specifications. The picture here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the VG-110 and M1.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The VG-110 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more challenging and the YI M1 will give extra detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged VG-110 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
