Olympus FE-25 vs Sony TX66 Sensor Comparison
Usually, it's tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements purely by reading through specs. The visual here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and TX66.
All in all, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You can anticipate the Sony TX66 to give more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older FE-25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
