Usually, it is very hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing only by going over specifications. The graphic underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 III and ZV-1.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 III because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony ZV-1 will offer more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older E-M10 III is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
