Plainly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 6020 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Olympus 6020 will result in more detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 6020 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
