Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus E-PM2

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.

Photography Glossary

The 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.

For anybody who is aiming to carry your camera frequently, you will want to think about its weight and dimensions. The Olympus FE-25 enjoys physical measurements of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) while the Olympus E-PM2 has dimensions of 110mm x 64mm x 34mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.3") accompanied by a weight of 269 grams (0.59 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will vary depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is a front view measurement comparison of the FE-25 compared to the E-PM2.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FE-25 and E-PM2 is 98 and 89 respectively.

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.
