Anyone have an Olympus FE-210 ?

Question

i'm looking to buy a didgital camera, it doesn't need to be anything too fancy, just a good camera to take casual pics with i saw this one on the radio shack website and it seems to be a good camera in my price range, anyone have one and how do you like it?, or any suggestions on a better didgital camera?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Hi.. i do have this camera.. its really good,i had no problems till now (its just 6 months old).. and the pics are really great..  i'm shocked with the reviews.. i do agree that it cant record sound in video but if you need a digi cam just for pics.. then you can really  go for it.. maybe you should get it in a reliable store as there are duplicates available.. i got mine in Dubai.. so i believe the quality is great than in India..

Answer 2

i did have one of these cameras a while ago but they were superceded by the fe270 so you can probably get an fe270 for about the same price. 210 can record video but NO SOUND whilst 270 does have sound.  even the fe270 has now been replaced by fe310 & can record video with sound. you should be able to bargain for a really good price on the fe210 since it's been superceded twice already. pictures were ok with it. good luck

The FE-210 is a budget camera and I think you will be disappointed if you buy it, because it only has ok image quality and has very sluggish performance. It's movie mode is also disappointing. You will find this is common with quite a number of Olympus models of compact camera...and for that reason, I would never buy one.

From one review of the FE 210...

"Bottom line - I was a bit disappointed with the overall performance of this model. Not only is it slow, but the 7-megapixel images it creates are only OK.

I suggest you look at a different camera.
