Usually, its hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by going through specifications. The pic below might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R7 and E-M10 IV.
To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R7 with its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon R7 will provide more detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger R7 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
