Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-M10 III

Here is a detailed assessment of the Olympus FE-25 and Olympus E-M10 III, former being a Ultracompact while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both of them are created by Olympus. There exists a considerable gap between the resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and E-M10 III (16MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and E-M10 III (Four Thirds) provide different sensor sizing.

The FE-25 was released 9 years before the E-M10 III and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus E-M10 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a brief view of how the FE-25 grades versus the E-M10 III in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-25 & Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III. The complete galleries are available at Olympus FE-25 Gallery & Olympus E-M10 III Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera, you have to factor its weight and measurements. The Olympus FE-25 features external measurements 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) whilst the Olympus E-M10 III has proportions of 122mm x 84mm x 50mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 2.0") along with a weight of 410 grams (0.90 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the FE-25 vs the E-M10 III.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the FE-25 and E-M10 III is 98 and 80 respectively.

Normally, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading a spec sheet. The visual underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and E-M10 III.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FE-25 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Olympus E-M10 III will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
