Nikon S3100 vs Olympus FE-25

Let's take a closer look at the Nikon S3100 versus Olympus FE-25, both Ultracompact digital cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Olympus. There exists a sizable gap between the sensor resolutions of the S3100 (14MP) and FE-25 (10MP) but they use the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The S3100 was brought out 2 years later than the FE-25 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the S3100 scores vs the FE-25 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon Coolpix S3100 & Olympus FE-25. The entire galleries are provided at Nikon S3100 Gallery & Olympus FE-25 Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera, you should factor in its weight and volume. The Nikon S3100 features external measurements of 94mm x 58mm x 18mm (3.7" x 2.3" x 0.7") accompanied by a weight of 118 grams (0.26 lbs) and the Olympus FE-25 has sizing of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at the time. Here is the front view dimensions comparison of the S3100 and the FE-25.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S3100 and FE-25 is 96 and 98 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the S3100 and FE-25.

All in all, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon S3100 to resolve greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more recent S3100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
