Here is a thorough comparison of the Olympus FE-25 and Panasonic 3D1, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by brands Olympus and Panasonic. The image resolution of the FE-25 (10MP) and the 3D1 (12MP) is pretty similar and both cameras boast the same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The FE-25 was unveiled 3 years prior to the 3D1 and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Panasonic 3D1 being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a complete comparison, here is a short introduction of how the FE-25 grades versus the 3D1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

For those who are looking to carry your camera, you have to factor in its weight and size. The Olympus FE-25 has got outside measurements of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") and a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) while the Panasonic 3D1 has specifications of 108mm x 58mm x 24mm (4.3" x 2.3" x 0.9") and a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs).

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.
