Strengths: Slim and stylish, advanced face detection, easy operation

Weaknesses: No view finder

The Olympus FE Series FE-3010 Digital Camera is one of the three new entrants to Olympus’ FE-series.

Housed within its slim 0.7-inch thick body are a twelve megapixel image sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens. There is no viewfinder to frame shots. However, this model comes with a high resolution 2.7-inch LCD display to make up for the view-finder.
There are 15 in-built shooting modes. These include three underwater modes that can be clubbed with the optionally available underwater housing for capturing shots of the vibrant aquamarine life at depths. The "In-Camera Help Guide" system that elucidates the set-up options and modes integrated in the Olympus FE-3010's is sure to enhance the user’s digital photography skill.

You can look forward to taking some outstanding, high-definition photos because Olympus has included features like Dual Image Stabilization and Advanced Face Detection of up to sixteen persons. This camera is available in bold colours like gold, magenta and black. It accommodates either xD-Picture Card or microSD. Like its other siblings in the FE line-up, 3010 abides by the ‘one button, one function’ design to add to its user-friendliness.

This camera doesn’t let you down and performs all the basics expected from an entry-level camera.
