Olympus VH-410 vs Sony A6600 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The VH-410 having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A6600 will resolve greater detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged VH-410 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
