Olympus FE-170Review of the Olympus FE-170

The Olympus FE-170 belongs to the Olympus "Easy" range of digital cameras. It is a point and shoot camera aimed at the general user who wants something fairly decent but easy to operate and at a sensible price. The camera has a high resolution of 6 megapixels for image clarity. The zoom ratios are 3x for optical zoom and 4x for digital zoom, which are both absolutely typical for this class of camera. The internal memory of this camera is quite low (only 10MB) so Olympus clearly expect you to be using a memory card. The LCD screen is a good size, measuring 2.5" in diameter. There are 10 scene modes to help you get the best shot in different situations: Sports, Indoor, Candle, Self portrait, Sunset, Fireworks, Behind Glass, Cuisine, Documents and Auction. The camera has a movie feature and records in QuickTime Motion JPEG format. The camera is compatible with USB 2.0 high-speed connection for quick downloading to a computer.
