Sometimes, it's hard to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-PL1s and fp L.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-PL1s featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Sigma fp L will provide more detail due to its extra 49 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older E-PL1s will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
