Point-and-shoot Camera for Photography Hobbyists

Posted on 8/5/2009 1:24:41 PM

The Olympus FE-230 is a compact digital camera that features a super-slim chassis and impressive image technologies which can meet the needs of average camera users. However, the camera has one major drawback: it has a magnification mode of only 3 times, lower than most high-end cameras.

 The Olympus FE-230 is a point-and-shoot digital camera that has been designed in a super-slim (less than an inch thick) and all-metal chassis while supporting impressive image technologies ideal for photography hobbyists.

This camera boasts a technology called Digital Image Stabilization that prevents blurry pictures caused by shaky hands. This feature is further complemented with Digital Image Stabilization Edit that allows users to correct hazy parts of a picture directly on the camera.

For capturing clear pictures even in low-light environment, the 7.1-megapixel camera has Bright Capture Technology that allows people to take superior image quality without using a flash.

One downside is the optical zoom which has a magnification of a mere 3 times, lower compared to other high-end digital cameras which boast zoom as high 12 times.

While FE-230 has some downside, this has been compensated with TruePic TURBOTM Image Processor for fast performance and processing while making the colors more vibrant and lines more detailed in the pictures.

In terms of shooting modes, the camera provides a wide selection of these features to take clear shots in different lighting condition, subject, ambience, and environment. Another impressive thing about the shooting modes is that it can be adjusted to allow users to take pictures even in underwater. To enjoy this capability, people can buy the Olympus Underwater Housing, allowing them to take pictures up to 40 meters deep.

Other features are red-eye reduction, JPEG support (for movies), 20MB internal memory, 2.0 USB storage, self-timer (12 seconds), editing tools, noise reduction technology, and Windows and Mac compatibility.
