As you can tell, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 II with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M10 II will deliver more detail using its extra 7MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher E-M10 II should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
