Typically, it is tough to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions only by looking at technical specs. The image here may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and VG-145.

As you have seen, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Olympus E-M1X will give extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The newer E-M1X provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
