Olympus 6000 vs Sony WX80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The image here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 6000 and WX80.
Plainly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different MP. You can anticipate the Sony WX80 to deliver extra detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 6000 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
