The FE-25 was unveiled 3 years before the WG-1 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Pentax WG-1 being a Compact camera.

Before we go right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short overview of how the FE-25 grades versus the WG-1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-25 & Pentax Optio WG-1. The full galleries are available at Olympus FE-25 Gallery & Pentax WG-1 Gallery.

Typically, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor sizes simply by going over specifications. The image underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and WG-1.

To sum up, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Pentax WG-1 to deliver extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
