Olympus FE-230 Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 7.09 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "The 7.1 megapixel Olympus FE-230 is probably one of the the slimmest and most budget friendly digital camera currently on the market. It measures only 0.65 inches thick and you still get a typical 3x optical zoom and 2.5 inch LCD. It's also a small step up from its cheaper sibling, the FE-210, and gets a TruePic Turbo imaging processor that gives it a bit more speed and some more image processing capabilities. ...

Other features include 19 preset shooting modes, a built-in help guide, and a simplified and quickly navigated menu structure. The FE-230 is geared specifically and almost exclusively toward the point-and-shoot digital camera market, with extremely limited manual controls. ...

The good: it's skinny jeans pocket-friendly, and has some impressive specs that include a 7.1-megapixel CCD, all-metal construction, a 2.5-inch LCD screen with Bright Capture technology, in-camera help guides, and 19 Shooting modes. But for almost every good there is a bad. ..."
