Olympus FE-25 vs Panasonic GH5S

Below, we are analyzing the Olympus FE-25 vs Panasonic GH5S, former being a Ultracompact while the other is a Pro Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Panasonic. The resolution of the FE-25 (10MP) and the GH5S (10MP) is fairly well matched but the FE-25 (1/2.3") and GH5S (Four Thirds) come with different sensor sizing.

Photography Glossary

The FE-25 was launched 10 years prior to the GH5S and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Panasonic GH5S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a concise synopsis of how the FE-25 scores versus the GH5S in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus FE-25 & Panasonic Lumix DC-GH5S. The complete galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-25 Gallery & Panasonic GH5S Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera often, you should factor in its weight and dimensions.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-25 and GH5S is 98 and 62 respectively.

Typically, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and GH5S.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same megapixels but different sensor measurements. The FE-25 contains the tinier sensor which should make achieving shallower depth of field harder. The older FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
