Olympus FE-5030 Review

Announced at the beginning of the year, the Olympus FE-5030 is a stylish, credit card sized camera featuring an unusually wide, 26-130mm equivalent zoom lens, a 14-megapixel sensor, mechanical image stabilisation, Advanced Face Detection, AF Tracking,...

Mating an unusually wide and versatile 5x zoom lens to a high-resolution sensor, the Olympus FE-5030 is one of the more interesting credit card sized cameras around. When used as a strictly point-and-shoot camera, it does not really disappoint, either...

Olympus FE-5030

Olympus push the boundaries on the 14MP point-and-shoot market

A 14MP camera with a 5x optical zoom for as little as £119.99 is an offer that's hard to ignore. The FE-5030 has its fair share of problems, but it caters well for the beginner's needs and few come cheaper.

Olympus FE-5030

its pink

after 4 days of using the camera the pictures became increasingly blurred to a point where you couldn't make out the faces and mine didn't get delivered with a charger which was a huge disappointment considering the first time I used it was on holiday.

Olympus FE5030 14MP Compact Digital Camera - Grey.

Easy to use, no trying to fathom things out. Good and clear picture. Not really had the time to experiment with all the facilities yet as It is new to me at the moment, but I am very satisfied with the product.
