As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus E-M1X to offer you extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger E-M1X should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
