Canon 1000D vs Olympus E-620 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements just by seeing specs. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 1000D and E-620.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1000D featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Olympus E-620 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older 1000D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
