Olympus FE-190 Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 8.75 (out of 10)
Review: "The Olympus FE-190 is a compact, stylish point-and-shoot camera with a street price of around $185. That's pretty cheap for an all-metal camera, in case you're wondering. The FE-190 has a 6 Megapixel CCD, 3X zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, digital image stabilization, and numerous scene modes. If it's manual controls you're after, you'll likely be disappointed with this camera, though - it has none.

Photo quality on the FE-190 was not great. The good news is that photos were well-exposed, with minimal purple fringing. If you're in "normal light" that the camera's auto white balance system can figure out, then colors should be very nice as well. However, I took quite a few shots in what I'd call standard indoor lighting and ended up with a strong color cast. Since there's no way to adjust white balance on the camera, you're out of luck when this happens. You can't control the ISO either, and noise levels can be pretty high when the camera cranks it up automatically..."

Review: "With a small frame and a smaller price tag, Olympus's FE-190 hopes to attract the fashionably frugal. This 6-megapixel shooter doesn't offer the manual controls more advanced photographers desire, but its other aspects make up for its automation.

The Olympus FE-190 excels as a budget, ultracompact snapshot camera. It doesn't have many settings to fiddle with but doesn't really need them, thanks to its well-designed automatic mode. This camera is pocketable, affordable, and a good choice for any user willing to sacrifice control for other boons"
