Usually, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking technical specs. The picture here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX2F and M1.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The EX2F with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the YI M1 will give more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX2F is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
