Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the E-M5 III and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC is 80 and 85 respectively.

In many cases, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by seeing technical specs. The visual here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-M5 III and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-M5 III having a larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Olympus E-M5 III will provide more detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent E-M5 III provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
