Olympus 6000 vs Pentax K-01 Sensor Comparison
Normally, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading specs. The pic underneath will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 6000 and K-01.
All in all, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 6000 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Pentax K-01 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged 6000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
