Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-M1X Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-25 and E-M1X.
Clearly, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Olympus E-M1X will offer more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
