Nikon D600 vs Olympus E-330 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by going through specifications. The visual underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the D600 and E-330.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D600 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon D600 will show extra detail using its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer D600 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
