Olympus Tough-3000 and Olympus 6000 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Olympus Tough-3000
or the
Olympus 6000 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
