my olympus fe-190

Our Olympus FE-190 was given to us as a gift almost two years ago. I liked it already the moment I took it out of the box. The camera is slim and very well-designed. Having used Sony and Canon digicams before, I can say that Olympus holds its own pretty well against the competition. The controls are fairly easy to figure out and the large display is very nice.

Following is what's been said about the Olympus FE-190 digicam...

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 FE-190's metal body is thin and pretty. It doesn't have the stylish curves of Olympus's Stylus or Canon's PowerShot SD cameras, but it's still fairly attractive. At less than an inch thick and weighing just 4.5 ounces, the camera is small enough to squeeze into most pockets. Despite its small size, the FE-190's controls are large and tactile enough, even for large thumbs.

Its list of features is quite short, but the FE-190 still has enough useful settings to please most casual shooters...
