Olympus FE-360 review

The Olympus FE-360 has a solid, albeit boxy build, packs an 8Mp CCD and comes with a rechargable lithium-ion battery - all pretty impressive for a model with a fairly modest price point.

More positively, the supplied battery lasts a respectable 240 captures per charge, plus there is a 20.5MB internal memory to fall back on. Though the Olympus FE-360 is not a bad camera by any means, its uninspiring images mean that there are better...

Olympus FE-360 review

Clad in a choice of either sophisticated matt black or brushed silver with chrome detailing and with dimensions just a tad wider than a credit card, it's a surprise to find a price tag of just £119 attached to the attractive Olympus FE-360 camera.

The Olympus FE-360 is a simple, 8 megapixel digital camera. It has a 3x optical zoom lens. This is a basic, point and shoot model.

Olympus FE-360

It's small, sleek and costs under £100 - we find out whether it's a real bargain or you get what you pay for

Unfortunately it's a case of style over substance when it comes to this model - image quality just doesn't impress us enough

Olympus FE-360

The Olympus FE-360 offers very good value for money when you take price into account. There are not too many pocket sized digital cameras that sell this cheaply and there are even fewer that offer such good picture quality. This is an 8 megapixel...

General picture quality when compared against other cheaper cameras

Shutter lag and start up times are very poor

The FE-360 proves you do not have to pay a fortune to get a camera capable of taking decent snapshots. This camera outperformed many far more expensive cameras I tested at the same time.

i agree with the other review that when viewing the pics on the screen it had a orange tint to it. But i also agree that it takes good pics. Not a bad price either.
