Quite often, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 II and Efina.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 II due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 II will show extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The newer E-M10 II is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
