Olympus 6020 vs Panasonic G3

The following is a in depth assessment of the Olympus 6020 versus Panasonic G3, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Panasonic. The sensor resolution of the 6020 (13MP) and the G3 (16MP) is relatively close but the 6020 (1/2.3") and G3 (Four Thirds) possess totally different sensor sizing.

The 6020 was revealed 17 months earlier than the G3 which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. The two cameras offer different body type with the Olympus 6020 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G3 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a full comparison, below is a simple view of how the 6020 grades versus the G3 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

If you're planning to travel with your camera, you will want to factor its weight and proportions. The Olympus 6020 has exterior measurements of 95mm x 62mm x 22mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") along with a weight of 122 grams (0.27 lbs) while the Panasonic G3 has measurements of 115mm x 84mm x 47mm (4.5" x 3.3" x 1.9") with a weight of 336 grams (0.74 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have at that time. Here is the front view measurement comparison of the 6020 vs the G3.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6020 and G3 is 95 and 83 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by researching technical specs. The pic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 6020 and G3.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 6020 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G3 will result in extra detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged 6020 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
