Quite often, it's hard to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The pic here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M5 III and HZ10W.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The E-M5 III with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M5 III will produce extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern E-M5 III should have a benefit in sensor technology.
