As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Olympus TG-1 iHS to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The older FE-25 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
