Normally, it can be hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by reading through specs. The visual here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TX100V and M1.
All in all, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TX100V because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the YI M1 will give more detail utilizing its extra 4MP.
