The following is a comprehensive assessment of the Olympus 7000 and Panasonic FH25, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers Olympus and Panasonic.

The 7000 was brought out 24 months prior to the FH25 which makes the cameras a generation away from one another. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a in depth comparison, below is a brief summation of how the 7000 scores versus the FH25 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you use during that time. Below is the front view dimension comparison of the 7000 and the FH25.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 7000 and FH25 is 94 and 94 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at specs. The picture here will give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 7000 and FH25.

As you can plainly see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Panasonic FH25 to resolve greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 7000 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
