    5 Stars The Picture Perfect Camera! Review with images 03/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages 7.1mp, small, light, fab looking, great functions, amazing camera!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages small time delay, pricey XD cards - but I'm nit picking!

    I chose this camera initially because of the weight. I looked around at different cameras in the below £150 section on a nuber of websites, paying particular attention to John Lewis (one of my favourite stores), and this one was simply the lightest. I ventured further in my research before deciding to definitely purchase, however, only to discover that everything else the camera offered ticked my boxes too! I bought the camera in the end from John Lewis for £130 though you can find it cheaper elsewhere, for example I saw on Amazon it was £105. I try to buy from John Lewis though as I like ... more

    4 Stars I Am A Flasher! (Only with my Olympus FE-230!) 08/09/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages compact, lightweight, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages short video clips and battery life

    Yes, it is true and I will be the first to admit it.... I am a flasher! I have been flashing for a while now and this little gadget is making it easier to do so in so many more places! What? What? You didn't think that I... Oh my, perhaps I phrased my opening statement incorrectly!! Olympus FE-230 I am far from an expert in photography, although I do declare myself fairly adept at taking a photo or two, however, cameras are not something I know a lot about, so this will not be a review filled with technical jargon and greek mythology! I purchased this camera a couple of years ago as I thought ... more

    5 Stars Small, Simple and Great Quality Photos 04/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small (just 16.5mm depth), Looks Great, Quality Pictures (7.1mp), Li-ion Battery..

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Uses the more expensive XD card instead of SD

    Great camera, great features and at a great price. I bought this camera from amazon at £93.90 delivered with a free case (worth £9.99). The first thing about this camera is the size - its so small (think its 16.5mm to be exact) and easily fits in any pocket, bag etc. The next thing you notice is the screen - its 2.5 inch which is quite big for a camera this small, and in my opinion the bigger the screen the better for taking pictures. The quality of the pictures are also outstanding. Whether this is because its 7.1 mp or just because its an olympus i dont really know, but i can assure you the ... more

    5 Stars Fantastic, User Friendly, Great Priced Camera 13/09/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Nice size, looks brilliant, good battery life and great picture quality

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Small internal memory

    This is a great little camera. I bought it from Argos for £130, a little overpriced compared to the price of Amazon however i needed it on very short notice and i was not dissapointed. The camera uses the xd memory card which isn't quite as cheap as the sd card range but nevertheless very much worth the money. The battery life on the camera is good and can generally take around 200 to 300 images before it needs recharging. The charger included with the camera requires the battery to be taken out each time and usually takes about 6 hours to charge fully, the box also includes a 2 pin european ... more

    5 Stars brill camera 08/04/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small, slim, easy to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages too many functions?

    i must admit that what first attracted me to this camera was its look and its price. its reasonably cheap and it looked so cute as well as being quite slim! from my perspective anyway! but when i started using it properly, i found all the cool functions it had. as well as being a 7.1megapixel camera, the 2.5" screen is big enough so that the pictures are displayed clearly. it has a 3x zoom so that any closeups could be taken and cos of the high resolution, closeups dont look all pixelly! there also came loads of preset functions, such as underwater, behind glass and candle modes. some of these ... more

    4 Stars Taking photographs whenever and wherever 18/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Light, compact, easy to use, brilliant quality of pictures and diversity of functions

    Disadvantages Disadvantages can be a slight time delay for pictures to take

    I received this camera as a Christmas present from my Mum and Dad and have been absolutely delighted with it. I takes very clear pictures and the automatic focussing and flash is great for someone, like me, who is not great at photography. There are so many functions available on this camera that I imagine it would suit someone who was a little more knowledgeable about what makes a good photograph! I really like the fact that this camera is so compact and light and the display screen is a really good size despite the fact that the camera itself is so small. I used to not want to take my camera ... more

    5 Stars Fantanstic Camera for a Fantastic Price!! 05/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages several functions, and high quality results

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No view finder for taking photos in bright sunlight

    This camera looks stylish, sleek as a result of the rechargable battery. Additionally the huge 2.5 inch screen allows for precise pictures to be taken and enables easy viewing of photos afterwards. There is an incredible range of settings and functions on this camera, which are all extremely useful once you have had chance to experiment with the different modes. In particular the night mode and close up photo facilitate the production of high quality pictures. The camera also comes with some excellent software, OLYPMUS Master that is superb for editing photos and enhancing colours and tones ... more
