Generally, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specs. The visual underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-P1 and fp L.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-P1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will offer extra detail due to its extra 49MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older E-P1 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
