The 6000 was announced 3 years prior to the TX200V and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus 6000 being a Compact camera and the Sony TX200V being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving in to a in depth comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the 6000 scores versus the TX200V in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizing purely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 6000 and TX200V.

Clearly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony TX200V to produce greater detail with its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older 6000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
