Good camera, not overly impressive

 

Pros 1. The compact size - it easily fits in a purse or pocket 2. The price was good at the time I really needed a camera. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" is true. That being said, I wasn't expecting a professional quality camera, it isn't...

Great little camera at a great price

 

I've had my Olympus fe 4020 now for two years. Have taken a couple trips to Colorado and California since then, and I can tell you that my pics are GORGEOUS! They are clear and sharp, and the colors are better than any other camera I've ever owned....

This camera truly stands out from the crowd.
