Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-M10 IV Sensor Comparison
Quite often, its tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and E-M10 IV.
Clearly, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Olympus E-M10 IV will offer you more detail due to its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
