The 9000 was announced 20 months earlier than the FH25 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving straight into a thorough comparison, below is a simple overview of how the 9000 scores versus the FH25 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus 9000 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH25. The whole galleries are provided at Olympus 9000 Gallery & Panasonic FH25 Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you should factor its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. The following is the front view measurement comparison of the 9000 vs the FH25.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 9000 and FH25 is 92 and 94 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through technical specs. The photograph below should give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 9000 and FH25.

As you have seen, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Panasonic FH25 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 9000 will be behind in sensor innovation.
