The ingenuineness of this review appears doubtful. Justify your opinion.
I feel this review is:
I bought this model from Singapore a few months back and it's a good model to start with. As I was searching a camera from a reputed company within 12k which is easy to use, handy and compact, this model fits my budget. The sleek, compact and handy model easily fits into the trouser pocket and is easy to use. the lens is good, the shutter speed is a little slow but it makes up for that with the many picture modes (like sports, behind glass, candlelight)available.
The video quality is also good but the only problem is that you need to have quick player to view that. I found the battery to be very good (>270 snaps without recharging). The 2.5" screen is sufficient to view your image. All other features are the same as good compact cameras. The manufacturers claim it to be somewhat resistant to adverse weather but I haven't tested that.

I bought this camera few days back at a price of $179.99 (costs around 11k in India) and I'm quite happy with the way I'm able to handle it. Considering the fact that I'm a novice photographer and haven't owned a camera before I had to make a very cautious decision before I bought one! Before I dig-in into the specifics of the machine, let me tell you what my preferences were:
A very simple camera with a short learning curve. Yes I don't know what Hue, Saturation are and to share the secret with you, I 'almost' failed in the Image Processing paper :(
Easy to charge and don't want to invest on a charger and batteries.
Should be able to easily transfer my photos to a PC/notebook (I dont normally print the pictures and rather prefer emailing around)
I don't have big pockets and don't carry any back packs, so wanted something which I could slip in into my pockets and don't feel the weight of it.
The problem was it was a bit heavy and coming to Nikon I thought 5 MP was an old one to have (can't I have personal opinions? ;p) Finally I bought a Olympus FE 190, here is what I found after I bought it.
You might need to buy an xD card as the internal memory is only 22 MB (15 pictures), I bought a 1 GB xD card (Sandisk, 60$) which lets you store around 230 (PC Editing quality) pictures.
It comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery (LI-42B) and with a charger. So needn't worry about buying a battery charger again.
Almost all the controls are automatic and trust me you can learn to operate the camera in just under a minute!
Comes with Digital Image Stabilization (For those flying in SU-30 Jets and wanna shoot an F16 from cockpit! Yes, sometimes there could be no end to exaggeration)
A 2.5 inch LCD screen is a certain good to have feature. Here's the link for detailed tech specs: https://olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1262&fl=4 If you want to buy this India, do check out eBay https://cgi.ebay.in/OLYMPUS-FE-190-DIGITAL-CAMERA-FE190-NEW-1-YR-WARRANTY_W0QQitemZ330035907352QQihZ014QQcategoryZ107897QQcmdZViewItem and if you are in Hyderabad, we have one outlet in Banjara Hills.
Hope the info helps!
