Typically, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-10 and PEN-F.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX-10 because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older EX-10 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
