The FE-45 was announced 7 years before the 1s which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Olympus FE-45 being a Compact camera and the Olympus 1s being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the FE-45 matches up vs the 1s for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The picture here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FE-45 and 1s.

Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FE-45 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh tougher and the Olympus 1s will result in greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
