The FE-25 was unveiled 5 years earlier than the W730 and that is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Olympus FE-25 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony W730 being a Compact camera.

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the FE-25 matches up versus the W730 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the FE-25 vs the W730.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the FE-25 and W730 is 98 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, it's difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by seeing specs. The photograph here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-25 and W730.

All in all, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony W730 to produce greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The older FE-25 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
