The 60Da was introduced 3 years later than the E-30 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the 60Da matches up vs the E-30 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 60Da & Olympus E-30. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 60Da Gallery & Olympus E-30 Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera often, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 60Da has external measurements of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") along with a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs) while the Olympus E-30 has proportions of 142mm x 108mm x 75mm (5.6" x 4.3" x 3.0") and a weight of 695 grams (1.53 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the 60Da and the E-30.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 60Da and E-30 is 59 and 60 respectively.

Sometimes, it's hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 60Da and E-30.

As you can see, the two cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 60Da with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 60Da will render extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent 60Da should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
