Oftentimes, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The pic here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M1X and A7R V.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-M1X featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A7R V will give you greater detail due to its extra 41MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged E-M1X is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
