Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-PM2 Overview
Here is a extensive assessment of the Olympus FE-25 versus Olympus E-PM2, former being a Ultracompact while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and they are both produced by Olympus. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and E-PM2 (16MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and E-PM2 (Four Thirds) boast different sensor sizing.
Sora from OpenAI releases its first ever music videoThe FE-25 was manufactured 5 years prior to the E-PM2 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus E-PM2 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.
Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the FE-25 grades versus the E-PM2 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-PM2 Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is very hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out specs. The photograph underneath will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and E-PM2.
All in all, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FE-25 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Olympus E-PM2 will show greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The older FE-25 will be behind in sensor innovation.
