Olympus 6000 vs Sony A7c

Here, we will be matching up the Olympus 6000 and Sony A7c, former is a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Sony. There is a substantial difference among the sensor resolutions of the 6000 (10MP) and A7c (24MP) and the 6000 (1/2.3") and A7c (Full frame) provide different sensor dimensions.

The 6000 was revealed 12 years before the A7c which is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Olympus 6000 being a Compact camera and the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short overview of how the 6000 scores vs the A7c when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

If you're intending to travel with your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Olympus 6000 has outer measurements of 95mm x 63mm x 22mm (3.7" x 2.5" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 179 grams (0.39 lbs) whilst the Sony A7c has dimensions of 124mm x 71mm x 60mm (4.9" x 2.8" x 2.4") accompanied by a weight of 509 grams (1.12 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the 6000 compared to the A7c.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the 6000 and A7c is 94 and 78 respectively.

Generally, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The pic here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 6000 and A7c.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6000 using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A7c will show more detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 6000 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
