Nikon Z6 II vs Olympus E-450

Below, we are looking at the Nikon Z6 II versus Olympus E-450, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR by manufacturers Nikon and Olympus. There exists a significant gap between the resolutions of the Z6 II (25MP) and E-450 (10MP) and the Z6 II (Full frame) and E-450 (Four Thirds) use totally different sensor measurements.

Typically, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Z6 II and E-450.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Z6 II using its larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF easier and the Nikon Z6 II will offer extra detail having an extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The fresher Z6 II is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
