Olympus E-M10 II vs Olympus 7000 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 II and 7000.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 II with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Olympus E-M10 II will give you greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger E-M10 II provides a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
