Olympus 6000 vs Panasonic S1R Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, its difficult to see the contrast between sensor measurements just by looking at specs. The photograph underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 6000 and S1R.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 6000 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Panasonic S1R will resolve greater detail having its extra 37 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 6000 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
