To sum up, each of these cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 IV featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A6600 will render greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent E-M10 IV should have a benefit in sensor tech.
