5 out of 5 stars Great Camera   October 13, 2008
Sophia Heick (San Luis Obispo, CA)
I love this camera. It is very small and has awesome zoom, everything works wonderfully and I would recommend it to any photographer. The options are also great to play with.


5 out of 5 stars really good camera   September 10, 2008
Latea Alexandru
The camera is better than i expected. Lot of options, good colors and good picture quality, especially in day light.It also take good pictures in the dark, but you have to be close to the subject. For a compact camera , it takes excellent pictures .


5 out of 5 stars Olympus FE-340 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom   September 10, 2008
W. Wilkin (Dallas, TX)
This is an excellent compact digital camera. I have not yet explored it's full capabilities, but one feature that is truly significant is 5x optical zoom. The digital zoom is integrated with the optical zoom so that it easy to tell how much of each you are using.
The images in low light conditions are good. It is an 8MP camera, so the images with decent lighting conditions are just sub-professional quality.
Considering all the features that work well on the camera, the price is amazingly reasonable.
I haven't yet explored the video features of the camera.



5 out of 5 stars Beautiful photos at affordable price!   September 7, 2008
Jeffrey L. Horton
I bought one of these a couple of months ago and I must say I'm very pleased. The photos I've taken with it (and I'm not a 'photographer') have come out wonderfully clear, especially outdoors. The optical zoom at 5x is a nice touch, since digital zooms are never as clear, and 5x is pretty much close enough for anything but serious outdoor or wildlife shots. Oh, and the battery life is great... I haven't had to charge it yet!
"Bang for the buck" on this product is VERY good!
