Normally, its difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by going over technical specs. The visual here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M1X and HX200V.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M1X because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M1X will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The younger E-M1X should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
