The FE-25 was unveiled 8 years earlier than the A6300 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony A6300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the FE-25 scores versus the A6300 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Sometimes, it's hard to see the gap in sensor sizes just by viewing specifications. The picture underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-25 and A6300.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FE-25 using its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony A6300 will result in greater detail having an extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
