Canon T6i vs Olympus E-400

In this article, we are analyzing the Canon T6i versus Olympus E-400, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by rivals Canon and Olympus. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the T6i (24MP) and E-400 (10MP) and the T6i (APS-C) and E-400 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor measurements.

Photography Glossary

The T6i was unveiled 8 years later than the E-400 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before going straight into a thorough comparison, below is a short highlight of how the T6i grades against the E-400 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS Rebel T6i & Olympus E-400. The full galleries are viewable at Canon T6i Gallery & Olympus E-400 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Canon T6i offers physical measurements of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") with a weight of 555 grams (1.22 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-400 has measurements of 130mm x 91mm x 53mm (5.1" x 3.6" x 2.1") and a weight of 435 grams (0.96 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are using at the time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the T6i compared to the E-400.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the T6i and E-400 is 66 and 77 respectively.

Quite often, it's tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by looking through technical specs. The graphic below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the T6i and E-400.

As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The T6i with its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon T6i will render more detail having an extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The fresher T6i should have an advantage in sensor technology.
