Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading specifications. The picture here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-P2 and GXR P10 28-300mm F3.5-5.6 VC.
Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-P2 due to its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-P2 will offer extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively.
