Canon 4000D vs Olympus E-600 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its hard to see the contrast between sensor measurements purely by checking technical specs. The visual here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 4000D and E-600.

As you can tell, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 4000D with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 4000D will resolve more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The fresher 4000D will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
