Olympus E-P1 vs Sony A6000

Below, we will be reviewing the Olympus E-P1 vs Sony A6000, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Sony. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the E-P1 (12MP) and A6000 (24MP) and the E-P1 (Four Thirds) and A6000 (APS-C) come with different sensor dimensions.

The E-P1 was introduced 5 years prior to the A6000 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the E-P1 scores against the A6000 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus PEN E-P1 and Sony Alpha a6000. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus E-P1 Gallery and Sony A6000 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry around your camera often, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements. The Olympus E-P1 provides outer measurements of 121mm x 70mm x 36mm (4.8" x 2.8" x 1.4") along with a weight of 355 grams (0.78 lbs) whilst the Sony A6000 has proportions of 120mm x 67mm x 45mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.8") having a weight of 344 grams (0.76 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at that moment. Following is the front view overall size comparison of the E-P1 versus the A6000.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the E-P1 and A6000 is 86 and 85 respectively.

Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the gap between sensor sizes merely by looking at technical specs. The pic underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the E-P1 and A6000.

As you can tell, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-P1 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A6000 will resolve greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged E-P1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
