Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus PEN-F

Following is a detailed comparison of the Olympus FE-25 and Olympus PEN-F, one is a Ultracompact and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are offered by Olympus. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and PEN-F (20MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and PEN-F (Four Thirds) possess different sensor dimensions.

The FE-25 was released 8 years before the PEN-F which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus PEN-F being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the FE-25 grades versus the PEN-F in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus FE-25 and Olympus PEN-F. The complete galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Olympus PEN-F Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry around your camera often, you'll have to consider its weight and dimensions.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The image below might give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and PEN-F.

Clearly, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Olympus PEN-F will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
