The 60D was announced 11 months later than the FE-47 and they are both of a similar generation. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon 60D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Olympus FE-47 being a Compact camera.

Before going right into a thorough comparison, here is a short overview of how the 60D scores versus the FE-47 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 60D and Olympus FE-47. The whole galleries are available at Canon 60D Gallery and Olympus FE-47 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and size.

Often, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through technical specs. The graphic underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 60D and FE-47.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 60D using its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 60D will give you extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more recent 60D is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
