Normally, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing only by seeing technical specs. The photograph underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 II and 5010.

As you can tell, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 II using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Olympus E-M10 II will show extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more modern E-M10 II should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
