Oftentimes, it is hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by checking specs. The picture underneath may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and Q.

As you can plainly see, both cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Pentax Q to resolve extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
