Olympus E-M10 II has a
16.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features TruePic VII processor. On the other hand, Olympus E-600 has a
12.0MP Four Thirds (17.3 x 13 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features TruePic III+ processor.
Below you can see the E-M10 II and E-600 sensor size comparison.
Olympus E-M10 II and Olympus E-600 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Olympus E-600 has 30% larger pixel area (18.45µm2 vs 14.12µm2) compared to Olympus E-M10 II, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Olympus E-M10 II and Olympus E-600 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, E-M10 II has scored 73, 18 points higher than E-600.
