Canon T6 vs Olympus E-450 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the T6 and E-450.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The T6 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon T6 will resolve more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer T6 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
