Customer Reviews

Decent Pictures, but major design flaw
I had this camera for about 1.5 years. It takes pretty good pictures and is pretty easy to use.

However, the battery cover's latches are really small plastic pieces that are a part of the outer cover of the camera. Because it eats up batteries pretty quickly with the LCD screen (covers almost 1/3 of the back of the camera), you have to change the AA batteries fairly often (rechargables recommended). Over time, the little plastic latches seem to either wear out or just break off from friction with the cover. When this happens, the camera becomes unusable. Because the batteries push against the cover, without one of the small plastic latches, the camera acts as though it's not getting enough power to take pictures. You can still connect it to the computer to get the pictures off, but the lens won't stay open for you to take pictures.

Apparently, this happens often with the Olympus FE models from a few years ago. I read that a guy tried to get his FE-130 repaired for the same problem. It was not covered under the warantee and would cost about $100 to fix. (See the Olympus FE-130 for other accounts of the battery cover flaw.)

Overall, this is a good, cheap camera that tool pictures well. The "cheap" aspect comes into play with its structural design.

just about perfect
For the money spent, I am convinced I could not have found a better camera. I just got back from a semester of studying abroad in Glasgow, Scotland. This was the reason I purchased the camera. It traveled with me to Italy, Norway, Belgium, France and England. And I took over 1500 pictures in those 3 months.

The camera is a little short on features and it does some things better than others. It took some time to get used to it and figure out how to deal with the deficiencies and work with it. But once I learned these tricks, the camera took some OUTSTANDING pictures. I have been especially impressed with the sky in many pictures. The camera has been able to expose the foreground well and still pick up specific colors and good detail in the sky (which it seems many cameras have a problem with).

I bought this camera, a 512mb memory card and a pack of rechargeable batteries and it was the best $200 i've ever spent. I am going to be applying for some photography internships and my portfolio will consist mostly of pictures taken with this camera.

If you need a good camera and can't afford a high-end digital SLR or just want more features than this offers, you cannot choose a better camera than this.

NonTechy Very Satisfied
This little digital camera has met my expectations. It is easy to use and understand how to use. I'm easily confused and overwhelmed by electronic products. I bought this camera after seeing it and exploring it with a friend who had received one as a Mother's Day gift. I immediately understood how to use it, and could do so easily when mine arrived. Simplicity is a good thing and this camera falls into step!
