As you can see, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The FE-5020 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Olympus FE-5020 will offer you extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more modern FE-5020 will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
