Affordable Camera with OK quality

Strengths: Not bulk, Advanced Modes, Video Mode Available

Weakness: Movie mode is not good. Pictures are not too exciting but OK.

This is a affordable camera with good image quality. There is slight lag when you take a picture, The camera can be used in Auto Mode so any member of your family can handle it. Again affordable camera with a little compromise on picture quality and the camera operation

Excellent Camera for Average User

This camera works like a dream. Would recommend it for the average person who wants a good camera for family, vacation photos etc. Takes very good indoor flash photos. Colors and resolution are excellent. Has a good feel and easy operation. Lens retracts and lens cover closes when you turn it off. At 4 megapixels you get more than enough resolution for 8 X 10 blowups. Uses "XD" format picture...

Olympus FE-100 4 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: SIMPLE!! Good picture quality.

Weakness: A little slow. Internal memory not used when card is installed.

Got this for my wife who is very non-technical. It's perfect for her: small and extremely easy to operate. A dial on back with very legible icons lets you select from program modes (portrait, landscape, night, etc.) -- very quick selection with no futzing with menus which usually confuse the techno-challenged. Beside the viewfinder are two buttons, one for shooting and one for reviewing making it...

Affordable Entry-level camera

Strengths: Affordable, good quality pictures

Weakness: Next shot time above average

For an entry-level camera, this is very affordable. Good for first time users, especially as a gift for kids. With 4 megapixels, it is a bargain at just over $100. Got this camera with 256XD card for 120 after taxes. No viewfinder might be a problem when shooting bright subjects. Time to next shot is at least 5 seconds, which would also be a problem for sequential shots.

Gives its best for its prize

Strengths: Very nice Picture Quality , Easy to operate , Affordable range , Complete in Features

Weakness: With rechargable battery, camera shows low battery signal after short use only.

Camera is really fine in appearance , excellent picture quality . Only thing which disturb is its low battery signal. Camear start showing low battery signal quite quick but it keep working for another hours with low battery signal. In overall , i found it worth for money i spent.

Good cemara for the price

Strengths: Easy to use, good quality pictures

Weakness: Slow between pictures

I brought this camera at Fry's for $80. It is very good for that price. Picture quality is good and it is very easy to operate. It is little slow between shots, which is a problem while taking continuous shots. Overall good camera for the price.

Great, quality beginner camera with a great price!

Strengths: Picture quality is great for the price,does exactly what it's described to do. Macro mode and Super Macro Mode work exceptionally well(very clear)

Weakness: Alkaline batteries do not last long enough, I suggest NIMH rechargeable batteries. Could use bit of a bigger LCD. There's no picture stabilization,especially crucial during zoomed shots.

Overall, this camera is a great purchase considering the facts that it does have a 2.8x optical zoom(basically,I didn't notice the difference when comparing a 3x op.zoom Fuji and the FE-100), pictures come out bright on the LCD which was a positive thing, and it's very simple to manage yet has a good number of different modes. The camera could have been built with "picture stabilization" like the...

OLYMPUS FE-100... DIGITAL EXCELLENCE

Strengths: Well made, compact and easy to use.

Weakness: Needs a better carry bag

Well what can I say, here is a camera that is easy for anyone to use. It is compact, very solid construction and has an excellent menu for the first time user through to the professionals. Picture quality is simply fantastic. The only downfall I feel is the carry bag, it would be great if you could carry two spare batteries as well as the USB cable and a mini charger. I bought one for my wife and...
