Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-M1 III because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus E-M1 III will give you more detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger E-M1 III will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
