Olympus FE 230 Review

Who would have thought that a small point and shoot camera, a person buys just for everyday pictures can be packed with so many features? Often many of us purchase a camera not thinking to use it for anything other than pointing it, centering the subject and pressing the capture button. Well there is a lot more than just that to these easy to carry cameras.

Take the Olympus FE230 for example, This 7.1 Megapixel camera is equipt with a AF 3x optical zoom 6.3-18.9mm 1:3.1-5.9 lens, a large 2.5 LCD Screen for easy view, quick and easy to navigate Menu, and a long lasting (2-3 day)Lith-Ion Battery. Yes it is a very small camera, so the ergonomics may not be as appealing to someone with big hands, or someone looking for a camera they can have a good grip on. Its usability makes up for its ergonomics, although you do need to use a menu tab and search for options they are clearly displayed on a screen.
