Nikon S02 vs Olympus FE-25 Sensor Comparison
Often, it's tough to see the contrast in sensor sizing simply by going through technical specs. The photograph here may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S02 and FE-25.
As you have seen, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The S02 due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Nikon S02 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more modern S02 will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
