Olympus FE-190

By Jeff Keller (dcresource.com)

The Olympus FE-190 is a compact, stylish point-and-shoot camera with a street price of around $185. That's pretty cheap for an all-metal camera, in case you're wondering. The FE-190 has a 6 Megapixel CCD, 3X zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, digital image ...

Remarkably stylish and well built for the price (though see issues below) ; Big 2.5" LCD display ; decent outdoor and low light visibility (though see issues below) ; Easy to use, with plenty of scene modes ; Unique shooting guide feature ; Good ...

Lots of corner softness ; occasional vignetting as well ; Redeye a big problem ; Lacks even the most basic controls (like white balance), which can cause many image quality problems (see examples in review) ; Low LCD resolution ; No optical viewfinder ...

While not horrible, the FE-190's battery life is still a bit below average
