The P7700 was brought out 3 years later than the FE-47 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the P7700 grades against the FE-47 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix P7700 & Olympus FE-47. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon P7700 Gallery & Olympus FE-47 Gallery.

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the P7700 and FE-47.

As you can see, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The P7700 featuring a bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Olympus FE-47 will provide you with more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger P7700 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
