Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Olympus FE-4000 is 14g lighter than the Panasonic FX48 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 (Lumix DMC-FX40) nor Olympus FE-4000 (X-925) provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

LCD Screen Size and Features
Olympus FE-4000's 2.7" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FX48's 2.5" screen.
Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.
