Olympus FE-20 digital camera review

 

Why Buy the Olympus FE-20? If you are looking for a digital camera to slip into a pocket and is easy to use then the FE-20 is one to consider. It is a fair bit cheaper than most pocket cameras too. Image Quality

Olympus FE-20

 

The Olympus FE-20 is one of the cheaper pocket cameras. It has 8 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom lens. This camera is very easy to operate too. As you would expect picture quality is good rather than excellent, but the FE-20 is able to handle most...

Ease of use - design is good for a cheaper camera

Slow to turn on - slow to take photos

This camera does exactly what it sets out to do. It delivers decent snapshots at a reasonable price. It is unfussy both in design and ease of use. The one issue I have with it is it is slow to start up and slow to take a picture.

Slim profile, inexpensive camera, good memory upgrades, battery life, video features

Propietary battery, digital zoom is pretty weak ; you'll get over it
