To sum up, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X due to its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Olympus E-M1X will give more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent E-M1X should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
