Olympus E-M1X vs Olympus 6000 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M1X and 6000.

As you can tell, both the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M1X having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Olympus E-M1X will resolve more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent E-M1X will have an edge in sensor innovation.
