Clearly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-P7 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Olympus E-P7 will give extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more modern E-P7 should have an edge in sensor tech.
