As you can see, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic ZS200 will deliver more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged E-M10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
