Olympus FE-25 vs Olympus TG-4

Following is a complete overview of the Olympus FE-25 and Olympus TG-4, former is a Ultracompact while the latter is a Waterproof and they are both designed by Olympus. There exists a sizable gap among the resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and TG-4 (16MP) but they come with the same exact sensor measurements (1/2.3").

Photography Glossary

The FE-25 was brought out 7 years earlier than the TG-4 which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Olympus TG-4 being a Compact camera.

Before going in to a in-depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the FE-25 grades vs the TG-4 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-25 & Olympus Tough TG-4. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus FE-25 Gallery & Olympus TG-4 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera frequently, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Olympus FE-25 has exterior dimensions of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) whilst the Olympus TG-4 has proportions of 112mm x 66mm x 31mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.2") along with a weight of 247 grams (0.54 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is the front view measurements comparison of the FE-25 vs the TG-4.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-25 and TG-4 is 98 and 90 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizes purely by researching a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-25 and TG-4.

As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Olympus TG-4 to render greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
