As you can tell, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-P1 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Olympus E-P1 will resolve extra detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger E-P1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
