Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus SH-1 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizing only by checking a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and SH-1.
Clearly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus SH-1 to resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
