Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 II will provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer E-M10 II will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
