Olympus FE-25 vs Pentax KP

Below, we are matching up the Olympus FE-25 vs Pentax KP, former being a Ultracompact while the other is a Advanced DSLR by competitors Olympus and Pentax. There is a substantial difference among the image resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and KP (24MP) and the FE-25 (1/2.3") and KP (APS-C) feature different sensor measurements.

The FE-25 was introduced 9 years earlier than the KP and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Pentax KP being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the FE-25 grades vs the KP in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus FE-25 & Pentax KP. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-25 Gallery & Pentax KP Gallery.

When you are planning to carry your camera often, you'll have to think about its weight and measurements. The Olympus FE-25 offers external 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 Pentax KP has proportions of 132mm x 101mm x 76mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.0") along with a weight of 703 grams (1.55 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you choose during that time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the FE-25 versus the KP.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the FE-25 and KP is 98 and 61 respectively.

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and KP.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FE-25 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Pentax KP will produce extra detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older FE-25 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
