Generally, it's hard to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by researching specifications. The image underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M1 III and FZ150.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1 III having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Olympus E-M1 III will render extra detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The newer E-M1 III should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
