Canon T6 vs Olympus E-600

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon T6 and Olympus E-600, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras by brands Canon and Olympus. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the T6 (18MP) and E-600 (12MP) and the T6 (APS-C) and E-600 (Four Thirds) enjoy totally different sensor sizes.

Photography Glossary

The T6 was unveiled 6 years later than the E-600 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before delving through a more detailed comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the T6 scores against the E-600 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS T6 and Olympus E-600. The full galleries are available at Canon T6 Gallery and Olympus E-600 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera, you have to take into account its weight and proportions. The Canon T6 features physical dimensions of 129mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.1" x 4.0" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 485 grams (1.07 lbs) and the Olympus E-600 has measurements of 130mm x 94mm x 60mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 2.4") and a weight of 515 grams (1.14 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is the front view sizing comparison of the T6 against the E-600.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the T6 and E-600 is 68 and 71 respectively.

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The photograph below may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the T6 and E-600.

Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The T6 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon T6 will give you extra detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The newer T6 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
