Olympus 6000 vs Olympus 6020 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing only by viewing specifications. The photograph below will help give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6000 and 6020.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Olympus 6020 to render more detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older 6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
