Olympus 6000 vs Panasonic GF6 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading specifications. The pic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 6000 and GF6.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 6000 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Panasonic GF6 will offer you extra detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 6000 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
