More often than not, it is difficult to see the gap in sensor sizing just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M10 II and VG-110.

As you can see, both of the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 II featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 II will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger E-M10 II is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
