Olympus 6020 vs Sony WX80 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking technical specs. The image here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6020 and WX80.
As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony WX80 to give you extra detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged 6020 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
