Olympus FE-25 vs Pentax K-1

The following is a extensive overview of the Olympus FE-25 versus Pentax K-1, one is a Ultracompact and the other is a Advanced DSLR by rivals Olympus and Pentax. There is a significant difference between the sensor resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and K-1 (36MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and K-1 (Full frame) enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The FE-25 was announced 8 years earlier than the K-1 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Pentax K-1 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before diving straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the FE-25 matches up versus the K-1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus FE-25 and Pentax K-1. The whole galleries are available at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Pentax K-1 Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions. The Olympus FE-25 enjoys exterior measurements of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") along with a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) while the Pentax K-1 has measurements of 137mm x 110mm x 86mm (5.4" x 4.3" x 3.4") along with a weight of 1010 grams (2.23 lbs).

Take a look at the Olympus FE-25 versus Pentax K-1 in the new Camera and Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you select at that time. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the FE-25 and the K-1.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the FE-25 and K-1 is 98 and 55 respectively.

In many cases, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and K-1.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The FE-25 using its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Pentax K-1 will offer you more detail with its extra 26MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
