Canon T6s vs Olympus E-400

Lets examine more closely at the Canon T6s and Olympus E-400, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Olympus. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the T6s (24MP) and E-400 (10MP) and the T6s (APS-C) and E-400 (Four Thirds) use different sensor dimensions.

The T6s was manufactured 8 years later than the E-400 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before delving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a simple view of how the T6s matches up against the E-400 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS Rebel T6s and Olympus E-400. The entire galleries are provided at Canon T6s Gallery and Olympus E-400 Gallery.

If you're intending to carry your camera, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Canon T6s has got outside dimensions of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") along with a weight of 565 grams (1.25 lbs) whilst the Olympus E-400 has measurements of 130mm x 91mm x 53mm (5.1" x 3.6" x 2.1") along with a weight of 435 grams (0.96 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you have attached at that time. The following is the front view size comparison of the T6s against the E-400.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the T6s and E-400 is 66 and 77 respectively.

Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through technical specs. The photograph below will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T6s and E-400.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The T6s due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon T6s will give greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The newer T6s should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
