More often than not, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reading technical specs. The pic underneath will give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M1 II and A65.

As you have seen, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1 II because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A65 will deliver extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer E-M1 II should have a benefit in sensor tech.
