Nikon S7000 vs Olympus FE-25

Let's examine more closely at the Nikon S7000 and Olympus FE-25, both Ultracompact digital cameras by brands Nikon and Olympus. There exists a sizeable gap between the resolutions of the S7000 (16MP) and FE-25 (10MP) but they come with the same exact sensor sizes (1/2.3").

Photography Glossary

The S7000 was unveiled 6 years after the FE-25 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before we go through a in-depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the S7000 grades vs the FE-25 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Coolpix S7000 and Olympus FE-25. The full galleries are viewable at Nikon S7000 Gallery and Olympus FE-25 Gallery.

If you're going to travel with your camera regularly, you have to take into account its weight and volume. The Nikon S7000 has outside measurements of 99mm x 60mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") along with a weight of 165 grams (0.36 lbs) while the Olympus FE-25 has sizing of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have chosen at that time. The following is the front view dimension comparison of the S7000 vs the FE-25.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S7000 and FE-25 is 94 and 98 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through technical specs. The pic here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S7000 and FE-25.

As you can tell, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon S7000 to give greater detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger S7000 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
