All in all, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Olympus E-M10 II will offer more detail having its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern E-M10 II should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
