Clearly, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-M1 II due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Olympus E-M1 II will give you extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs more aggressively. The younger E-M1 II should have an edge in sensor tech.
