Olympus 1 vs Olympus 6000 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The visual below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1 and 6000.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 1 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus 1 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The more modern 1 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
