Olympus E-M10 III vs Panasonic LZ20

Let's look a little more in depth at the Olympus E-M10 III versus Panasonic LZ20, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Olympus and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the E-M10 III (16MP) and the LZ20 (16MP) is fairly comparable but the E-M10 III (Four Thirds) and LZ20 (1/2.3") posses different sensor size.
