Olympus PEN-F vs Olympus 6020

Below, we will be contrasting the Olympus PEN-F vs Olympus 6020, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Waterproof and both of them are produced by Olympus.

The PEN-F was introduced 6 years later than the 6020 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus PEN-F being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Olympus 6020 being a Compact camera.

Before getting in to a complete comparison, below is a short highlight of how the PEN-F scores vs the 6020 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus PEN-F and Olympus Stylus Tough 6020. The whole galleries are available at Olympus PEN-F Gallery and Olympus 6020 Gallery.

Oftentimes, its tough to see the contrast in sensor measurements just by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the PEN-F and 6020.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The PEN-F with its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus PEN-F will provide you with more detail using its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer PEN-F will have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
