Olympus 6020 vs Pentax K-01 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 6020 and K-01.
Clearly, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6020 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Pentax K-01 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged 6020 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
