Typically, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over specifications. The photograph below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and E-PM1.
To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R10 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R10 will offer extra detail having its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The younger R10 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
