Olympus FE-25 vs Samsung PL170

Let's look more closely at the Olympus FE-25 versus Samsung PL170, both Ultracompact digital cameras by brands Olympus and Samsung. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the FE-25 (10MP) and PL170 (16MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor size (1/2.3").

The FE-25 was released 24 months prior to the PL170 which makes them a generation away from one another. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before delving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the FE-25 grades versus the PL170 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-25 and Samsung PL170. The complete galleries are provided at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Samsung PL170 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry around your camera often, you are going to need to think about its weight and proportions. The Olympus FE-25 features external dimensions of 93mm x 62mm x 24mm (3.7" x 2.4" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) while the Samsung PL170 has measurements of 95mm x 57mm x 19mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7") and a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached during that time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the FE-25 against the PL170.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the FE-25 and PL170 is 98 and 99 respectively.

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through specifications. The image underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-25 and PL170.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung PL170 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
