My wife has a D3200. It is a very basic camera with all the expected limitations including a small and dark viewfinder. On the other hand it is perfectly capable of taking excellent pictures.

The E-PL6 is also a very basic camera, with no viewfinder at all but with a pretty OK screen. It is also perfectly capable of taking excellent pictures.

There is a significant size difference.

FWIW, my wife thinks my E-M5 (same sensor and fundamentally same image quality as the E-PL6) takes better pictures than her D3200. I don't know what that's based on.
