Sometimes, it is hard to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking technical specs. The visual here will give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R10 and OM System OM-5.
As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R10 because of its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R10 will give greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively.
