As you can see, both of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M10 II will produce more detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The younger E-M10 II provides an edge in sensor technology.
