The L28 was introduced 4 years later than the FE-45 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting straight to a detailed comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the L28 scores against the FE-45 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix L28 & Olympus FE-45. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon L28 Gallery & Olympus FE-45 Gallery.

Normally, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing just by looking through specifications. The photograph below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the L28 and FE-45.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Nikon L28 to render greater detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger L28 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
