Canon 4000D vs Olympus E-620

Lets take a deeper look at the Canon 4000D vs Olympus E-620, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras by rivals Canon and Olympus. There exists a sizeable gap between the resolutions of the 4000D (18MP) and E-620 (12MP) and the 4000D (APS-C) and E-620 (Four Thirds) have totally different sensor dimensions.

The 4000D was released 8 years later than the E-620 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before delving into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the 4000D grades against the E-620 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 4000D and Olympus E-620. The complete galleries are available at Canon 4000D Gallery and Olympus E-620 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and size. The Canon 4000D enjoys outer dimensions of 129mm x 102mm x 77mm (5.1" x 4.0" x 3.0") having a weight of 436 grams (0.96 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-620 has specifications of 130mm x 94mm x 60mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.4") and a weight of 500 grams (1.10 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are using at that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the 4000D against the E-620.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 4000D and E-620 is 69 and 71 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 4000D and E-620.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 4000D because of its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Canon 4000D will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The younger 4000D is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
