Olympus FE-115 - digital camera review

 

Olympus FE-115 Life may be all about choices, but the Olympus FE-115 certainly isn't. This clunky 5-megapixel shooter sports a 3X optical zoom lens, seven shooting modes, and not much else. Sure, it's inexpensive and takes decent pictures, but its...

Extremely simple; automatic white-balance control accurately neutralizes incandescent lighting indoors.

No manual controls; few image options; poor performance; overprocessed images.

The Olympus FE-115 is chunky, slow, and overly simple.

Olympus FE-115

 

The functional-looking FE-115 isn't a bad model for the price, but the shot-to-shot time is disappointingly slow.

We wouldn't say this was the greatest budget camera, and it's got a pretty limited feature set. But Olympus has put together a low-cost camera that is incredibly easy to use and records as much video as your memory card allows.

Olympus FE-115

 

The Olympus FE range includes some of the most basic digital cameras I have tested. There are two major plus point to this. First they are all available at a low price. Second they are all very easy to use.

Ease of use ; Low price

Dark images at times ; Small LCD screen ; Shutter lag

"The Olympus FE-115 is a basic starter digital camera. It is one of the few digital cameras available from a name brand for under 100 pounds. As you would expect results are mixed, but if you are on a tight budget it is worth taking a look at."

I bought this for myself, it's turned out to be a great camera. The lcd screen has a decent resolution. The optical zoom does a great job. The features on the camera, like close up shots do very well for anyone with little understanding of photography....
