Released in 2001, e-mini has about 58 mm² of sensor area, 0.3 MP effective resolution, and a 60 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.


The e-mini and C-2500 L have the same sensor area. Compare pixel density, sensor architecture, and release generation to understand likely image-quality differences.
These cameras were released 2 years apart. Consider sensor generation when comparing pixel metrics.
Amber marks the value that is generally preferable in this comparison context. It is not an overall camera score.
The e-mini and C-2500 L have the same sensor area. The e-mini has the lighter body. The C-2500 L has the higher effective resolution. The e-mini is the newer release. Also consider the lens system and subjects you shoot.
