Often, its hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by looking through technical specs. The pic below might give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 and TX200V.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony TX200V will render extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger E-M10 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
