4.0 out of 5 stars Olympus FE-340 is very user-friendly, April 9, 2008

Olympus FE-340 has a good sized LCD, 5X zoom, and is very user-friendly specially for people who are simply point-and-shoot photographers.

PROS:
-- Camera has 5x zoom, looks solidly built, comes in great colors and
the control buttons are very intuitive.
-- Has a Guide option which describes possible shooting scenarios
(like shooting something behind a glass, shooting with bright
backlight) and you only need to select which scenario applies and
the camera provides you with the optimal settings. You just select it,
then point and shoot.
-- LCD screen is good sized and clear.
-- Provides 4 different preview shots at once (splits LCD display in 4)
and gives you the option to select which shot looks best to you.
-- Image quality is good. Nothing spectacular, just good.

CONS:
-- Only takes xD picture cards.
-- No burst mode (this is the continuous shooting mode).
-- Write speed and flash recycle time is very slow.

If you like fast burst mode, faster write speed, and SD card compatible,
try either Canon SD1000 or Casio EX-Z80.

My 12 year old daughter bought this with birthday money and just loves it. It is incredibly user friendly and takes amazing pics and video. Highly recommend!

This is a nice camera, easy to use and durable. I really enjoy using it. One downside is the battery has to be removed and placed into a separate charger when charging. It would be much more convenient to plug the AC cord into the camera to charge it and less likely for me to lose the charger and have to purchase a new one.
