Olympus FE-25 vs Panasonic 3D1 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing specifications. The graphic underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and 3D1.
To sum up, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Panasonic 3D1 to deliver more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
