All in all, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FE-3010 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Olympus E-M5 II will give you greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older FE-3010 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
