Olympus E-M10 III vs Olympus 1s Sensor Comparison
Often, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by going through technical specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 III and 1s.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 III because of its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Olympus E-M10 III will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a little more aggressively. The newer E-M10 III will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
