Sometimes, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over technical specs. The picture here will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M5 II and VG-110.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The E-M5 II with its bigger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Olympus E-M5 II will offer you greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The newer E-M5 II is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
