Olympus FE-300 seems to have it all: 12 megapixel image sensor for producing large-format prints with incredible detail, face detection technology plus an impressively broad range from ISO 50 up to ISO 6400, alongside a standard 3x optical zoom and 2.5-inch, high resolution screen. The FE-300 is the slimmest compact camera in Olympus' ranks. Even if your subjects are moving, the camera continuously tracks your subjects' faces without having to press the shutter button.
exclusive new TruePic III image processor, which was developed for the demanding performance of professional Digital SLR cameras.
This mode lets you preview how your picture will look under four different EV compensation or white balance settings. If you shoot in awkward lighting, Perfect Shot Preview can really help you take a proper shot without a lot of trial-and-error or menu-hunting. You can even preview how movie clips will look at different quality settings and frame-rates, though the highest quality 30fps VGA movie mode will almost always be your best choice.
