Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes simply by looking through specifications. The pic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 III and 9000.

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-M10 III due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Olympus E-M10 III will render greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern E-M10 III should have a benefit in sensor tech.
