Usually, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and TG-860.

As you can see, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-860 to deliver greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
