Typically, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specifications. The pic here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ50W and M1.
Plainly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The HZ50W featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the YI M1 will offer you more detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged HZ50W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
