Before getting straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the 60Da matches up against the E-330 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 60Da & Olympus E-330. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 60Da Gallery & Olympus E-330 Gallery.

When you are aiming to travel with your camera often, you will have to think about its weight and size.

Often, it is very difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by seeing a spec sheet. The image here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 60Da and E-330.

As you can see, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 60Da because of its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 60Da will provide extra detail due to its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The newer 60Da will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
