The FE-25 was announced 5 years earlier than the Galaxy NX and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung Galaxy NX being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the FE-25 scores versus the Galaxy NX in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus FE-25 and Samsung Galaxy NX. The whole galleries are available at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Samsung Galaxy NX Gallery.

In many cases, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by researching specs. The photograph underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and Galaxy NX.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FE-25 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Samsung Galaxy NX will result in more detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The older FE-25 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
