The FE-45 was brought out 3 years prior to the PX which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick summary of how the FE-45 grades versus the PX with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus FE-45 and Ricoh PX. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-45 Gallery and Ricoh PX Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilizing at that time. Here is a front view measurements comparison of the FE-45 compared to the PX.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-45 and PX is 95 and 95 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-45 and PX.

As you have seen, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Ricoh PX to offer extra detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FE-45 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
