As you can tell, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Olympus E-M10 II will give you greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer E-M10 II should have an advantage in sensor technology.
