"Overall, Olympus FE-280 Digital camera is a good buy since I only paid 129 dollar on the bestbuy black friday. sell. The camera design is superb and very slim. the thinest camera you can get on the market.
The bad part is when take pictures in auto mode, pictures quality is not as good as i expected.

"2008I found this Olympus FE=-280 To be a great camera. I bought it for my husband's birthday but have since stolen it and use it myself (everywhere) the picture quality is incredible and it is easy to use, since I am just a novice who wants to take family outing pictures, etc. I adore this camera and the color is so cute. I also found it to be affordable compared to other, similar quality cameras and would reccomend it to anyone "

"The Olympus - FE-280 is a wonderful digital camera that is very well priced and very easy to use. It comes in different savvy colors as well for teenagers. It has a new look and even for tech challenged people, its 1, 2, 3. It takes wonderful pictures and very good quality. It is a bit fragile, so do be careful, if you drop it, it can break easily becaues it is so fairly thin and not as sturdy as the bigger cameras.
Be careful, and happy picture taking!!! "
