Casio EX-G1 vs Olympus E-PL6 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The pic underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-G1 and E-PL6.

Plainly, both of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-G1 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-PL6 will deliver extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
