 Nice looking Camera - terrible pictures Nov 05, 2006
By D. Kiger
"mvdad"
This is a very nice looking camera and as a basic point and shoot (which is what I was looking for) - it has a lot of nice features. Pictures taken with the wide angle lens are pretty good - however, when taking any type of close up picture any slight hand movement will result in a blurry picture and the image stablization feature does not help this. The colors are OK - not great and on an auto setting the flash will go off anytime you are indoors - even in good light , resulting in a washed out photo. You have to manually turn off the flash which is annoying.
Also, takes a long time between pressing the button and taking the picture and even longer before it is ready to take the next picture

 Very nice Mar 06, 2007
By R. Palmer
This is my 3rd Olympus digital camera. I wanted a slimmer version of the great C-740 UltraZoom so I can carry it in my handbag.
The optical zoom is only 5x but it has some nice features that are good for novices and more experienced photographers as well. It has an "online" guide which is great as well as tips for how to use the various settings.
My only complaint is the proprietary battery pack - it comes with a recharger but unlike the C-740 UltraZoom, you cannot replace it with regular AA batteries. This is a problem when you travel in remote areas and don't have access to an electrical outlet (was 6 days in the desert in the Middle East) and you can't use regular AA batteries which you can buy at any souk.
Otherwise, great little camera.

 This is a wonderful product. Mar 21, 2007
By Kelly J. Eikenberry
I love my camera. It is easy to use and has way more features than I need. But it still does what I need, and is easy to use.
First time digital user Jan 18, 2008

I must say I was shocked and surprised by this camera when I got it out of the box. I had no idea it would be so small. It's like the picture online is life sized. Then again it probably doesn't help me in the fact that I wear a size 15 ring and thus pretty much any thing is dwarfed in my hands.
I will be honest having never used a digital camera before outside of my old HP web/digital/video cam I'm impressed. While I always thought the HP took decent shots, my new Olympus buries it in all respects. I'd be worried if it didn't.
Despite what other reviewers may say, I like the ease of use for a first time duffer such as myself. I do find though that the image stabiliaztion mode is best to shoot in rather than auto. Don't know if Auto mode uses the image stabiliaztion mode but it doesn't seem like it to me. I get much better shots without it.
I'll be going on vacation soon and look forward to shooting a ton of pics and to seeing the results.
Hope this helps!
purchased used-reconditioned FE-200 camera Jan 01, 2008
By Jim Henderson

This is my second FE-200 --- like the small size and wide range optical zoom. A friend dropped #1, so this replacement gives me continuity and duplicate charger, battery, and memory stick. Drawbacks -- lack of viewfinder in this and most small digital cameras is a major drawback in daylight. This camera sometimes fails to focus well in macro mode, or I need to improve my technique with it.
