The M6 MII was introduced 8 years later than the E-P3 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a more detailed comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the M6 MII scores versus the E-P3 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M6 Mark II & Olympus PEN E-P3. The whole galleries are available at Canon M6 MII Gallery & Olympus E-P3 Gallery.

Typically, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at specs. The visual underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 MII and E-P3.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon M6 MII will give more detail using its extra 21MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger M6 MII should have a benefit in sensor technology.
