Product Description

Digital photography made easy! Built-in Help Guides, One-Touch Operations, Preset Scene Modes, and a large 2.5 inch LCD are just a few of the features that make using the FE-300 simple and fun. This 12 megapixel, full metal body can go anywhere you go and never miss a photo-op. Prevent & correct blurry images without a computer! Digital Image Stabilization Mode freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speed to capture sharp images even if you or your subject is moving. Digital Image Stabilization Edit uses built-in gyro sensors to track camera movement so you can fix blurry images right in the camera.

This review is from: Olympus FE-300 - Digital camera - compact - 12.0 Mpix - optical zoom: 3 x - supported memory: xD - black (Electronics)

cons
Picture quality is ok with flash, though it's very bright and really highlights the ugly on people's faces compared to other cameras. And people are hella ugly

horrible quality without perfect lighting and no flash. It's ALWAYS blurry. And don't even bother with trying to use macro, even with flash. It's noticeably blurry. Decent outdoor photos though.

No indication when the battery is about to die. It only shows completely charged and almost dead.

video playback has no sound on the camera (it does when you up load it on a computer). It's just inconvenient.

pros
Pictures upload quickly and you can toss it in a bag with a bunch of other stuff and it wont turn on or do anything stupid.

rechargeable battery

It's well made piece of technology; it's not a flimsy or delicate. Which is good since I toss it around.

Very intuitive and easy to use, also good because I don't bother reading instruction manuals.

I haven't experienced any technical problems with it, I've had it for over a year.

Overall
I'd get a different camera.
