Plainly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Olympus FE-47 to produce greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
