Posted by: 17-Jul-2007

Strengths: Good picture quality, high quality lens and very good price tag. Slim camera as well.

Weaknesses: Not very fast and no manual controls for camera adjustments

Don’t judge the Olympus FE 240 by reviews which focus on the looks or the camera controls. All you need to do to get convinced to buy this Olympus camera is to see a photo output and you are likely to pick up this camera without a second thought. The point and shoot features of the camera are very simple to use and offers speedy pictures for anyone who needs to a simple camera with good output.

The FE 240 from Olympus is also very simple and handy can slip into a pocket very easily. With an attractive price tag, there is no doubt that the FE 240 makes it into the preferred list of many buyers who are looking for a hassle free point and shoot camera. However, the FE 240 is not totally free of flaws and you can figure that out when you see that it has no manual controls whatsoever.

The exterior of the Olympus camera is tough and is unlikely to give up quite easily. Some users complain about the slow performance of the camera but then the FE 240 does not claim to be a super fast camera in the first place! The 5x lens configuration along with 7 mega pixel resolution offers above average images and that is also that matters when buying the Olympus FE 240.
