The EX-FH25 was announced 5 years earlier than the 1s and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the EX-FH25 matches up versus the 1s for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the EX-FH25 against the 1s.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the EX-FH25 and 1s is 69 and 79 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through technical specs. The graphic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-FH25 and 1s.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-FH25 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Olympus 1s will resolve more detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older EX-FH25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
