Advantages: atractive, easy to use, good quality, small, good optical zoom, image stabilisation, video Disadvantages: some settings are not saved when you switch modes or turn off
This camera has a lot of good points. It's small, attractive, very easy to use, and it's also pretty fast / responsive. Overall, I'm delighted with it. (And I'm generally hard to please). I chose this camera over newer models. And I am glad I did. I wouldn't swap it. As I don't think this camera will require upgrading for a long time. It has a few flaws which i will mention at the bottom, but it's such a good alround camera, it keeps all five stars. ... ...perfectly adequate for average use. I don't even need it this high. It is adjustable in the menu, and i have it set to 5. 5x optical zoom, which works really well and is nice and easy to use. It's not a fiddly button you have to look at while you use. It's a little nub around the camera's button you push left or right, and it zooms in/out gradually. As well as the image a bar will be displayed on the LCD screen to show how far you have zoomed.

Advantages: Great Zoom, 8 fantastic scene modes, face detection, Good battery Disadvantages: Can be slow taking photo, Flash can ruin pictures sometimes
This was a birthday present that I picked for myself and I don't regret it. The zoom is amazing, I can get a clear picture from about 100 metres away if not further. Before taking the picture, when zooming far it does look very blurry but it sorts itself out when taking the photo and comes out clear.
The camera can be a little slow when taking the picture but it doesn't bother me but might be a problem if you want to take the photo quickly. I have ... ...taking a photo without it being a little blurred. Whether the camera should help with that or not I really don't know.
It's small and light enough to take with you wherever you go. All the different settings make it so much easier to take a good photo. I'm now able to take amazing photos of my boyfriend playing cricket.
I really love this camera and I wouldn't swap it for anything. It has been my best buy of the year!! ...

Quick review of Olympus FE-340
This camera is fantastic. It takes really good pictures and is simple & easy to use.
It also looks very professional and comes in a few different colours (mine is black).
I took this camera on holiday with me and it survived sand, water, being bashed about in my beach bag, going out at night time etc.
It really is worth the money. Especially as I bought mine from Tesco in the sale for £90.
I can't fault it! ...
