Plainly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Olympus E-M1X to deliver extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M10 III is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
