Olympus FE-200 Review
Review Summary
Review: "The Olympus FE-200 is currently the top of the "easy and fun" FE line of digital cameras. The FE line is squarely targeted at the entry-level user who is looking for an affordable, easy to use camera. The camera features a built-in help system and a nice looking, well built, compact design. The 6 megapixel FE-200 offers a wide angle (28mm equivalent) 5x optical zoom as well as a 2.5 inch LCD.

While the wide angle, 5x optical zoom lens and 6 megapixel resolution is currently a kind of "sweet spot" in the current point and shoot market, the FE-200 doesn't perform well enough to keep up with the competition. In addition, in my opinion, any price difference between this camera and a competitor, if there is any, is not enough to make the FE-200 any more attractive..."

Review: "If a camera comes with the highest price tag in its product line, you'd think it would be the best. The Olympus FE-200, however, proves otherwise. Although it boasts the nicest lens and costs more than other FE-series cameras, this 6-megapixel shooter wholly disappoints.

While the Olympus FE-200 should be the most impressive member of the FE-series, its terrible performance places it far behind the FE-180 and FE-190. Combined with a price that's higher than most budget cameras, the FE-200 just doesn't cut it. If you're looking for a reliable budget camera for less, the FE-180 and FE-190 are better options."
