Would I see major changes upgrading from a 2014 OM10 to a modern micro 4/3 camera?

( www.reddit.com )

Would I see major changes upgrading from a 2014 OM10 to a modern micro 4/3 camera? Basically, wondering if improvements in software can help with managing large differentials in lighting – the OM10 tends to blow out if there are significant changes in lighting such as a sunny window in the background–things my cellphone handles without a problem. Don’t want to ditch my 4/3rd lenses. TIA! submitted by /u/electricMoss
