Olympus FE-47 vs Panasonic G95

The following is a extensive analysis of the Olympus FE-47 and Panasonic G95, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Olympus and Panasonic. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the FE-47 (14MP) and G95 (20.3MP) and the FE-47 (1/2.3") and G95 (Four Thirds) posses different sensor dimensions.

The FE-47 was brought out 10 years before the G95 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Olympus FE-47 being a Compact camera and the Panasonic G95 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a full comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the FE-47 scores vs the G95 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus FE-47 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G95. The entire galleries are viewable at Olympus FE-47 Gallery and Panasonic G95 Gallery.

If you're intending to travel with your camera frequently, you have to consider its weight and measurements.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the FE-47 and G95 is 93 and 67 respectively.

Generally, it is very difficult to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the FE-47 and G95.

As you can see, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-47 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Panasonic G95 will deliver more detail having its extra 6.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more aged FE-47 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
