Olympus FE-120 Review

by Richard Baguley

- You might assume that a budget camera like the $230 (as of 2/6/06) Olympus FE-120 takes subpar photos. But you'd be wrong: In our tests this 6-megapixel unit delivered very attractive photos, earning top points from our jury of reviewers, who were impressed with the accurate colors and spot-on exposure of its images. The jurors' only complaint was that the images lacked sharpness, with some high-contrast edges and fine details having a blurry, indistinct appearance.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Price is low nowdays

    Weaknesses: XD card is expensive

    Overall Evaluation: Overall a good camera, and I believe it worth the money. However, the unique XD card is really an issue. And the image quality is OK. Hope olympus can find a way to use cheap memoery card.
