Olympus FE-340 Digital camera user reviews

    "I bought Olympus FE-340 Digital camera yesterday. I was unsure what to expect because the last Olympus camera I had, was able to take a video but had no sound! But this camera is absolutely great! and the price amazing! I took it right out of the box and starting taking pictures! It really is a great buy, its also very stylish and small. And don't get worried because the box shows a silver camera but I got the black, I'd definately reconmend this! I'm really considering to go back and buy one for my sisters birthday"

    "I purchased this camera as a Christmas present for the entire family. And after reviewing numerous brands, styles of camera, I'm certain I made a wise choice! This camera is so simple to use, takes fantastic pictures, and is small enough to fit in your pant's pocket! Uploading the images from the camera to my personal computer is a breeze. My 9 yo daughter has even mastered picture taking"

    "I have an FE-190 which is the same basic camera (discontinued). I think they start with the 210 or so now. It is super portable--smaller than a cigarette pack. I carry it in a holster wherever I go. You never know when you will need a camera. Recently I was rear ended and my car was totaled. The camera got some minor damgage in the impact but it still worked fine. I got pictures of the scene that I would never have got if I hadn't had the camera with me. I would caution to watch out for some of the newer FE's. I checked out a FE 340 at a store, it had some features I didn't like compared to my 190. The control dial doesn't stick out far enough to catch it comfortably with your thumb. It felt flimsier/lighter. But the on screen menus were nicer and better"
    "Olympus FE-340 Digital camera is great. 8 megapixels is plenty for blowing up the photos to whatever size you will ever need. The 5x optical zoom is great especially for a camera that fits in the palm of your hand. This camera has all the features that you could want. I was able to pick up a 2GB memory card for under $25 which provides over 500 photos at the highest resolution setting.

    "The Olympus FE-340 is very easy to use and takes beautiful pictures. The size of the camera is perfect for a purse or pocket. It comes with a rechargeable battery which holds a charge for a considerable amount of time. A charger is also included.

The videos are very clear and the zoom is extraordinary for such a small camera. Only problem I encountered was a shakiness when using the closest zoom setting.

I would definitely recommend this camera to anyone.
