Canon 300D vs Olympus E-600 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it is tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions merely by checking out technical specs. The pic below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 300D and E-600.
As you can tell, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 300D with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Olympus E-600 will show more detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged 300D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
