Olympus 1 vs Sony A6600

Here is a extended assessment of the Olympus 1 vs Sony A6600, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Sony. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the 1 (12MP) and A6600 (24MP) and the 1 (1/1.7") and A6600 (APS-C) feature totally different sensor size.

The 1 was introduced 6 years prior to the A6600 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony A6600 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a short overview of how the 1 matches up against the A6600 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus Stylus 1 and Sony Alpha a6600. The whole galleries are available at Olympus 1 Gallery and Sony A6600 Gallery.

Usually, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 1 and A6600.

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A6600 will resolve extra detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 1 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
