Olympus FE-230

Digital Camera Review

Aug 15, 2007 - By James Murray
1.3 The Olympus FE-230, announced in late January, is one of four slim, pocket-sized cameras that overhauled Olympus' line of entry-level point-and-shoots. This model boasts a 7.1 megapixel 1/2.5-inch CCD, 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD screen, and Bright Capture technology. Other features include 19 preset shooting modes, a built-in help guide, and a simplified and quickly navigated menu structure. The FE-230 is geared specifically and almost exclusively toward the point-and-shoot digital camera market, with extremely limited manual controls. The initial retail price of the Olympus FE-230 was $199.95, but it can be found online for about $50 less.
