The G15 was introduced 2 years after the 6020 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the G15 matches up vs the 6020 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot G15 and Olympus Stylus Tough 6020. The whole galleries are available at Canon G15 Gallery and Olympus 6020 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you choose at the time. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the G15 versus the 6020.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the G15 and 6020 is 86 and 95 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very tough to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions merely by checking out specifications. The picture here will help offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G15 and 6020.

Plainly, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G15 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Olympus 6020 will produce extra detail using its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more recent G15 should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
