Both Canon M10 and Canon 700D have 18.0 MP resolution sensors but Canon M10's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) and Canon 700D's sensor is APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ).
Since Canon 700D'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 700D sensor size comparison.
Canon M10 and Canon 700D 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
Both Canon M10 and Canon 700D sensors have been tested by DxoMark.
