Take a look at the Olympus FE-45 vs Pentax P80 in the new Camera and Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Following is the front view measurement comparison of the FE-45 compared to the P80.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-45 and P80 is 95 and 95 respectively.

Typically, it can be hard to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions simply by checking out a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-45 and P80.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Pentax P80 to provide more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
