Often, its tough to see the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph below might give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-PL5 and GXR S10 24-72mm F2.5-4.4 VC.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-PL5 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh simpler and the Olympus E-PL5 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger E-PL5 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
