Olympus FE-25 vs Panasonic ZS200

Below is a extended overview of the Olympus FE-25 versus Panasonic ZS200, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Olympus and Panasonic. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and ZS200 (20MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and ZS200 (1") feature totally different sensor sizes.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are employing at the time. Underneath is the front view physical size comparison of the FE-25 compared to the ZS200.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-25 and ZS200 is 98 and 86 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specifications. The visual here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and ZS200.

Plainly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The FE-25 having a tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Panasonic ZS200 will resolve more detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
