Nikon P7800 vs Olympus FE-4000

Its time to look closer at the Nikon P7800 versus Olympus FE-4000, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by rivals Nikon and Olympus. The sensor resolution of the P7800 (12MP) and the FE-4000 (12MP) is very comparable but the P7800 (1/1.7") and FE-4000 (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizing.

The P7800 was brought out 4 years after the FE-4000 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the P7800 matches up vs the FE-4000 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix P7800 and Olympus FE-4000. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon P7800 Gallery and Olympus FE-4000 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera, you'll need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Normally, it is very difficult to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The pic here might provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the P7800 and FE-4000.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have the same megapixel count but not the same sensor dimensions. The P7800 includes the larger sensor which will make achieving shallow DOF simpler. The more modern P7800 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
