As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-M1 II having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus E-M1 II will result in greater detail with its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher E-M1 II provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
