Olympus 6020 vs Sony RX100 III Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by viewing specifications. The visual here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 6020 and RX100 III.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 6020 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh harder and the Sony RX100 III will result in more detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images way more aggressively. The older 6020 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
