Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-PL2 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and E-PL2.
Clearly, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The FE-25 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Olympus E-PL2 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
