In many cases, it can be tough to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and S1H.

Clearly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh trickier and the Panasonic S1H will produce more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M1X will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
