Clearly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S02 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Olympus FE-47 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The fresher S02 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
