Often, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 MII and OM System OM-1.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon M6 MII will give more detail utilizing its extra 13MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The older M6 MII is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
