Typically, it is difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements just by going over specifications. The photograph underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 III and GH1.

Plainly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus E-M10 III to offer you greater detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger E-M10 III should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
