Lots of features, uses standard batteries, compact size

Terrible

 

Dont waste your money. ON the Olympus FE range. Poor quality pictures and cost a fortune in batteries. Totally unhappy with Olympus

Batteries don't last long. Firmware failed. Eventually replaced under warranty. Got a FE-310. Not any better

Size, Quality, Price, Functions, Simple to use. 7.1 Mega Pixels, 3x Optical Zoom, 2.5" LCD screen. AA batteries - you know you can pick up anywhere unlike camera batteries.

There aren't any.
