Kodak FZ45 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Olympus FE-25 has a
10.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Kodak FZ45's sensor provides 6MP more than Olympus FE-25's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the FZ45 and FE-25 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Kodak FZ45 and Olympus FE-25 Cameras
Kodak FZ45 and Olympus FE-25 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Kodak FZ45
or the
Olympus FE-25 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
