Quite often, it's hard to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by checking specs. The picture underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 and T90.

All in all, the two cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-M10 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 will resolve greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The fresher E-M10 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
