The FE-47 was brought out 7 years prior to the SH-3 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the FE-47 scores against the SH-3 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-47 & Olympus Stylus SH-3. The entire galleries are provided at Olympus FE-47 Gallery & Olympus SH-3 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera frequently, you're going to have to think about its weight and measurements.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you select during that time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the FE-47 vs the SH-3.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the FE-47 and SH-3 is 93 and 88 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The visual here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and SH-3.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You can count on the Olympus SH-3 to deliver more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
