Plainly, both of those cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X-T10 because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 IV will show more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X-T10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
