All in all, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-100 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus 6020 will result in greater detail having an extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger EX-100 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
