Olympus FE-100 Zoom

 

The Olympus FE-100 and FE-110 are 4.0-, and 5.0-megapixel models that pack more than just high resolution into compact and light bodies - they take the work out of digital photography so you can focus on having fun. The cameras feature a built-in Help Gui

Olympus FE-100

 

The Olympus FE-100, the least-expensive model in the FE series, lowers the bar on features but still has acceptable image quality for a 4-megapixel entry-level shooter.

Simple operation ; Budget price ; Internal memory saves 30 high-quality shots

No manual controls and few scene modes ; Slow autofocus ; LCD difficult to view in bright light ; Motion-picture clips limited to 320x240 at 15fps with no sound ; No burst mode ; No optical viewfinder

The Olympus FE-100's image quality was only adequate; if resolution is important to you, consider spending a few dollars more for the 5-megapixel FE-110 or splurging on the superior FE-120. Still, this model produced surprisingly good exposures, and in...

Olympus FE-100

 

Olympus FE-100 Review. A basic starter digital camera. It is likely to appeal to someone who does not want to break the bank on a digital camera. Ease of use is anither attraction.

Ease of use

Shutter lag ; Battery usage ; Small LCD screen ; Outdoor photos

Finding a really good entry level digital camera is very hard to do. Although the Olympus FE-100 performs well outdoors in good light it is poor indoors. Also watch out for shutter lag and battery life problems.

Olympus FE-100 Digital Camera

 

This is a fantastic basic camera and has never really given me too many problems. For those who are not big fans of learning how to use new gadgets, this is heaven sent. It's very user friendly.

The battery life is terrible, because this little bad boy siphons power out of batteries like it was water. This is particularly annoying when I’m not around an area where I can purchase replacement batteries. I’ve tried several brands of batteries and...

Good First Digital

 

I first received this product as a Christmas present, and subsequently took it on several vacations, including my honeymoon. It had plenty of features, and, since I never had a digital camera to compare it to, it seemed like a pretty neat camera....

takes pictures quickly, portable, easy link to computer, quick start-up, fits in a man's hand

blurry image, uncontrollable flash, poor zoom quality, requires AA batteries

Great versatile little camera.

 

I bought this camera maybe 7 months ago. I was heading to a wedding and needed a decent camera. I had a el-cheapo 3.1 camera and it was really crap. This was a good price and I figured I couldn't really go wrong with Olympus. I also picked up a cheap ...
