Completely different camera technologies and use case applications...
The Mavic Pro cameras are highly sensitive to IR light (comes in huge amounts from the sun) and have a fixed high frame rate, the Spark uses generic off low end camera which will have IR filtering..
What does all this mean...
Mavic cameras will suffer hugely indoors, specially under artificial lighting where both flicker and lack of IR lighting... however it will outpreform the off the shelf camera in range and accuracy outside in a clear day.
The spark uses a standard off the self camera used in low end smartphones... these work great indoors but they suffer with a very narrow dynamic range which gets auto compensated for and usually means that they comes some what useless fairly quickly with a shorter range.
Also the mavic uses as stated before, a VIO which is more about measuring changes... this is why the spark usually is better about landing exactly where it has taken off from than the mavic as well.. the mavic camera isn’t built for pictures but rather for measurements and instead mostly using GPS and logic and camera is looking for a specific pattern it ID’d on take off which I’m sure if you got to view it wouldn’t look at all like what you think. ... spark uses its camera mostly and GPS is only used to put it close to take off position.. then camera is comparing its take off scene...
Having watched both attempting to navigate and compensate, I can say for certain the mavic cameras are more of measurement devices than cameras and the sparks camera is just that a camera...
