Olympus E-600 vs Sony A6600 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The picture here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-600 and A6600.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The E-600 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A6600 will offer greater detail utilizing its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged E-600 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
