Olympus FE 210
The model is an Olympus 3x zoom with a 7.1 megapixel compact. More emphasis is laid on the easy and economical use of it rather than the headline-grabbing features. It is smoothly-curved, slim and is available at an affordable price. The results can be appreciated on a large 6.4cm LCD screen as it doesn’t fail to deliver an excellent shooting performance and impressive image quality. The images can be printed as large format photos to put up on display. The imaging power is high due to the 7.1 Megapixel CCD – so you can either view your images on-screen, print them for albums, or put it up on walls – it’s surely a treat every time! The 3x zoom lens caters to the need of capturing outstanding shots and enables greater flexibility wherever you are – standing close to the object or at some distance.
The functioning of the camera is based on the design principle of “one button, one function” and is ready to be used straight out of the box. The 15 scene modes are pre-programmed for the purpose of common shooting situations like Fireworks, Indoor, Night Scene, Sports and Self-Portrait. For letting users record the action as it happens, a handy Movie function has been included. An xD-Picture Card slot complements the camera’s internal memory. An Olympus Master software is also included for easy photo editing and archiving on a computer. Additional features include 2 AA batteries, a multi-language menu along with 25 languages, a 2.5-inch LCD, built-in help guides and digital image stabilization.
Since it is easy to operate, it is said to be perfect and suitable for first-time camera owners. Users can easily choose the desired effect as the camera automatically adjusts to the settings. The help guides educate users for achieving desired effects like shooting in backlight and adjusting the colour tone. Along with this, it also provides details for a variety of photographic scenarios and the camera is set instantaneously with the touch of a button. The Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) assists to capture clear images by freezing actions with high ISO sensitivity along with fast shutter speeds, thus preventing blurred shots.
There are separate buttons for shooting, zooming, reviewing and deleting images which adds to the convenience. To enable easy accessibility, they are located at the top end of the model with icons. The provision of Movie mode without any sound can help enabling the creation of short films. It can easily be connected to a computer with the USB Auto Connect feature via a USB 2.0 cable, requiring no software. Downloading images to your computer can be made simple and quick with the help of an intuitive user interface. To make searching simpler, images can be searched by date in the calendar view in the camera. The camera also includes flash mode, macro mode and also a self-timer.
All in all, the Olympus FE 210 is one of the cheapest 7 megapixels cameras you can find. It is attractive in design and simple to use. But it also has shortcomings like minimal memory and delay in shutter speed which results in a slow speed while taking snaps. In spite of it being budget friendly, it is not said to offer good value for money.
