Canon G7 X MIII vs Olympus E-600 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes only by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the G7 X MIII and E-600.

Clearly, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G7 X MIII having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Canon G7 X MIII will resolve greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The newer G7 X MIII provides a benefit in sensor technology.
