Olympus E-600 vs Olympus FE-25 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements only by going through specifications. The visual here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the E-600 and FE-25.

Plainly, both cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The E-600 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Olympus E-600 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The more modern E-600 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
