Canon 700D vs Olympus E-620 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by going over a spec sheet. The image below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 700D and E-620.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 700D because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 700D will offer greater detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer 700D provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
