Olympus FE-280 Compact Camera Review

by Narasu Rebbapragada

- The 8-megapixel Olympus FE-280 costs $200--a pretty low price. It comes with a good user guide for beginners but offers few manual settings. Image quality was merely average.

User Reviews for Olympus FE-280

Reviewed by: mmckenna1953

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: I like the style, size, quality, and features this camera has.

Weaknesses: I understand the memory card is only average. It would be nice if they put in a higher quality one so I don't have to go out and buy another.

Overall Evaluation: I notice that Cannon make a similar one called the Elph. I don't know why it gets so much attention. I think the Olympus has it beat hands down.
