Before delving straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a simple summation of how the FE-47 matches up versus the FH8 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus FE-47 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH8. The full galleries are available at Olympus FE-47 Gallery & Panasonic FH8 Gallery.

If you are planning to travel with your camera regularly, you have to factor its weight and measurements.

Normally, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions merely by going through a spec sheet. The pic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-47 and FH8.

Clearly, each of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Panasonic FH8 to show more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
