Canon T6i vs Olympus E-600 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading through specifications. The visual underneath may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the T6i and E-600.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The T6i with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Canon T6i will resolve extra detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The newer T6i should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
