All in all, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The E-600 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Olympus E-600 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The more aged E-600 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
