The PEN-F was introduced 8 years earlier than the A6700 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a simple view of how the PEN-F scores against the A6700 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus PEN-F and Sony Alpha a6700. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus PEN-F Gallery and Sony A6700 Gallery.

When you are looking to carry your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and volume.

Often, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing simply by going through specifications. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the PEN-F and A6700.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The PEN-F having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A6700 will show greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older PEN-F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
