To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1 II featuring a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Olympus E-M1 II will produce more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern E-M1 II provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
