Nikon Z6 II vs Olympus E-600 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is difficult to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The picture below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the Z6 II and E-600.
Plainly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The Z6 II having a larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Nikon Z6 II will offer you more detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer Z6 II should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
