Both Canon M10 and Canon 60D have 18.0 MP resolution sensors but Canon M10's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) and Canon 60D's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ).
Since Canon 60D's has a larger sensor area with the same resolution, this means that it also has a larger pixel area hence better light collecting capacity for a given aperture compared to Canon M10.
Below you can see the M10 and 60D sensor size comparison.
Canon M10 and Canon 60D have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon M10 and Canon 60D sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that 60D has a better overall score of 66, 1 points higher compared to M10's score of 65.
