Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-M5

The following is a extensive overview of the Olympus FE-25 and Olympus E-M5, one is a Ultracompact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are created by Olympus. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and E-M5 (16MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and E-M5 (Four Thirds) come with different sensor measurements.

The FE-25 was unveiled 4 years prior to the E-M5 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus E-M5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go straight into a thorough comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the FE-25 grades vs the E-M5 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus FE-25 and Olympus OM-D E-M5. The full galleries are available at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Olympus E-M5 Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera often, you should factor in its weight and measurements. The Olympus FE-25 has 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-M5 has proportions of 122mm x 89mm x 43mm (4.8" x 3.5" x 1.7") along with a weight of 425 grams (0.94 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you have attached at that time. Here is the front view sizing comparison of the FE-25 versus the E-M5.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FE-25 and E-M5 is 98 and 81 respectively.

Typically, it's tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by checking out technical specs. The image below should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and E-M5.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-25 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Olympus E-M5 will show more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
