The T6 was manufactured 7 years later than the E-420 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before getting straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a short view of how the T6 matches up versus the E-420 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS T6 and Olympus E-420. The entire galleries are available at Canon T6 Gallery and Olympus E-420 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Usually, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T6 and E-420.

As you can see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The T6 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon T6 will produce extra detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The younger T6 will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
