Oftentimes, it can be tough to see the difference in sensor sizes just by checking out technical specs. The image below will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and Efina.

As you can tell, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Pentax Efina to show more detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
