Olympus E-PL6 vs Sigma Quattro

Here, we will be analyzing the Olympus E-PL6 versus Sigma Quattro, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Sigma. There exists a considerable gap between the image resolutions of the E-PL6 (16MP) and Quattro (29MP) and the E-PL6 (Four Thirds) and Quattro (APS-C) have totally different sensor measurements.

The E-PL6 was introduced 19 months prior to the Quattro which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the E-PL6 grades vs the Quattro for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus PEN E-PL6 & Sigma sd Quattro. The whole galleries are available at Olympus E-PL6 Gallery & Sigma Quattro Gallery.

If you are intending to carry your camera regularly, you will have to factor in its weight and volume. The Olympus E-PL6 provides external measurements of 111mm x 64mm x 38mm (4.4" x 2.5" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 325 grams (0.72 lbs) while the Sigma Quattro has sizing of 147mm x 95mm x 91mm (5.8" x 3.7" x 3.6") having a weight of 625 grams (1.38 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view dimensions comparison of the E-PL6 and the Quattro.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the E-PL6 and Quattro is 88 and 63 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing only by reviewing technical specs. The photograph below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the E-PL6 and Quattro.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The E-PL6 with its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sigma Quattro will offer more detail using its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older E-PL6 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
