Normally, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 and W330.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 with its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M10 will show greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern E-M10 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
