Normally, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over specifications. The photograph here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and 7030.

Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Olympus 7030 to offer greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos far more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
