Usually, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The photograph here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the M6 MII and OM System OM-5.

To sum up, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon M6 MII will give more detail as a result of its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older M6 MII is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
