Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizes only by looking through specifications. The image underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the PEN-F and SP-810 UZ.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The PEN-F because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Olympus PEN-F will result in extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer PEN-F provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
