The FE-25 was introduced 12 months prior to the ST80 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before getting straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a simple summation of how the FE-25 matches up versus the ST80 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus FE-25 and Samsung ST80. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Samsung ST80 Gallery.

Oftentimes, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizing merely by looking through specifications. The photograph underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the FE-25 and ST80.

Plainly, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung ST80 to render extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older FE-25 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
