Olympus FE-25 vs Panasonic ZS200 Sensor Comparison
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.
