More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out specifications. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-620 and E-PL9.

To sum up, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Olympus E-PL9 to produce extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older E-620 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
