Olympus FE-240 (silver)

Decent pictures ; small and light ;

Very slow performance ; no manual settings ;

The Olympus FE-240 is slow and doesn't have any manual settings, but at least it takes good pictures.

Like all Olympus FE-series cameras, the FE-240 is almost completely devoid of manual settings. Like almost all Olympus FE-series cameras, the FE-240 doesn't have any burst mode. Despite the Olympus FE-240's sluggish performance and almost complete...

Olympus FE-240 Digital Camera Full Review

By Ben Stafford

The Olympus FE-240 is another 7.1 megapixel model in Olympus' latest line-up of four digital cameras in the FE line.

5x optical zoom ; Slim, metal body ; Good construction ;

Grainy LCD (low pixel count) ; Slow card access times ; Not a speed demon ;

Olympus FE-240

By Will Greenwald

The attractive, compact Olympus FE-240 makes life a lot simpler by automating almost all of its settings. Its images are actually reasonably good, with accurate colours and very little lens distortion, but it is exceedingly slow

Decent pictures ; small and light ;

Very slow performance ; no manual settings ;

The Olympus FE-240 is slow and doesn't have any manual settings, but at least it takes good pictures

Like all Olympus FE-series cameras, the FE-240 is almost completely devoid of manual settings. Olympus realises just how hard some choices can be, which is why it's made the FE series of digital cameras. Design The attractive, compact FE-240...

Olympus FE-240

The Olympus FE-240 is an inexpensive, pocket sized digital camera. Another advantage it has over other cameras with a similar specification is its longer than standard zoom lens.

Longer zoom on a pocket sized camera

Picture quality

The Olympus FE-240 is a seven megapixel, pocket sized digital camera. The feature that makes it different to many other digital cameras of this type is the fact it has a longer than standard 5x optical zoom lens.

The Olympus FE-240 is a pocket sized digital camera with something different. Cost You can pick up the Olympus FE-240 for around £150. However I was very disappointed with the Olympus FE-240. Front View Back View Top View Sample Menus Olympus...
