The FE-25 was released 24 months earlier than the VG-120 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the FE-25 scores against the VG-120 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus FE-25 and Olympus VG-120. The complete galleries are available at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Olympus VG-120 Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera frequently, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing only by reviewing technical specs. The graphic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and VG-120.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Olympus VG-120 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
