The 6020 was introduced 8 years earlier than the GX850 which is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Olympus 6020 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic GX850 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a more detailed comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 6020 matches up against the GX850 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

In many cases, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The image here should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 6020 and GX850.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6020 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic GX850 will deliver greater detail using its extra 3MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 6020 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
