Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus 1 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it's hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking technical specs. The visual underneath will provide you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and 1.
As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FE-25 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Olympus 1 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
