Olympus FE 170 Reviews

Simply Versatile...
Nov 22, 2008 12:36 AM 3137 Views

Well, I can't say I'm much of an expert as far as digicams go.. but I have been using this one off and on (belongs to my wife).. and I have to say - the Olympus FE170 is far better than the other digicams I've used. Factors contributing to this camera being really good value for money are :-




  • excellent Image Stabilization.




  • really effective settings (Landscape, Portrait, Night mode)




  • good Auto shooting (for amatuers like me)




  • easy downloading and sharing (no unnecessary applications)




  • very easy on the batteries




  • simple menu and no hi-end (confusing) functions




  • great internal memory (no need for SD card)






I'd say that even though the camera is just 6.0 megapixel, which is low by today's standards; in terms of size of images - the phenomenal clarity of the images makes up for this. 3x optical zoom is what you'd expect out of a simple home-use camera; and this one provides just that.


Works very well even in low light and bad weather.


Overall, I would definitely recommend this camera to any average non-professional photographer who's looking for a simple yet highly functional camera.


Great pics minus the complexities of a digi

Hey!


I am the proud owner of my Olympus FE-180 for almost 2 years now and it has been a great partner!


I love photography though have not indulged in some high end cameras so far.


I had an analog roll camera from Olympus before this one and the picture quality was the one which convinced me to buy an Olympus once again and I am really happy I chose the same brand!


Its a cool camera, easy to use UI(User Interface for the less acronymous;), and ABOVE ALL wonderful battery life.upto 400 photos I have taken on one full recharge.the manufacturers say 500! And this comes thanks to a battery-charger u get along with the camera.


Ever forgot to charge or run out of batteries on a trip.this camera wins there.for it runs on pencil cells available very easily everywhere on all tourist places.That multiplies the fun!


You have lot of modes to choose from and guide included is great.you can immediately find out if you do not understand the meaning of an icon.


Have missed just one thing in the phone.the lack of timestamp on pictures.although u can have them if you are taking prints from the camera.strange but true!


Value for Money entry level camera

My first video review is here for you.


In text: Olympus FE 170 is a great entry level camera at Rs 9995 when it comes with free 512 MB SD card and charger and rechargable batteries.


Advantage with this offer is that you save around Rs 3000 (for a 512 MB card and charger) which you'll have to mandatorily buy when you buy any other digicam.


You can't record sound while recoring video and video is captured at 15 FPS only.Also no carry bag/case comes free. Other than that, no complaints. The camera is good enough for all basic photographic needs.


Specs: 6 MP Olympus lense, 3x Optical Zoom and 4x Digital Zoom, 2.5 inch large display.


The menu is very friendly and I'm happy with its performance since I bought it 15 days ago.


Have attached 2 images taken using this camera. (Original high resolution image exceeds 1MB in size. What you're seeing here are compressed  images) For more images check: https://enidhispeaks.blogspot.com/2007/01/jnvc-snaps.html


Wasn't planning to type much as video is attached. Let me know how you felt about the video.


Note: This video review is recorded using my mobile phone: Sony Erricson K750i. Please standby for my review on this product.


Cheers.
