Olympus 6010 vs Sony A6600 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specifications. The picture below might give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 6010 and A6600.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 6010 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A6600 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 6010 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
