The FE-25 was announced 3 years earlier than the NEX-7 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony NEX-7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the FE-25 grades versus the NEX-7 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus FE-25 and Sony Alpha NEX-7. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-25 Gallery and Sony NEX-7 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you'll need to think about its weight and volume.

Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading through specifications. The pic underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-25 and NEX-7.

To sum up, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-25 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Sony NEX-7 will give extra detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
