Sometimes, it is hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions simply by researching specifications. The pic below will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 III and NX10.

To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 III with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Olympus E-M10 III will result in greater detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger E-M10 III provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
