Normally, its difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions merely by seeing a spec sheet. The pic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1 III and W650.

Clearly, both cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1 III due to its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M1 III will provide more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more recent E-M1 III will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
