I have owned two Olympus digital cameras over the years.  The FE-170 is small and inexpensive.  It is easy to use and delivers very good pictures.  It is a rugged camera and survived a car wreck with me.  It takes great close-up pictures, and the digital zoom is excellent.

Olymus FE-170 - Unfortunately Not The Best..

We purchased our Olympus FE-170 camera for about 3 years - as an additional camera to our Kodak EasyShare CS7330.  The description of the Olympus made us believe it would provide better photos than the Kodak..  We were wrong..

I am not an expert photographer, but have 6 grandkids in lots of events...

I bought this camera for my husband and he loves it.  He doesn't take many photos and when he did he used a one time use camera and rarely got it developed.  I got tired of having all of these sitting around getting lost or taking a bunch of pictures we didn't really need just to finish the roll.  It is so nice to be able to have something small to carry with him, plus we can download them immediately onto the computer, or take to a kiosk and have them printed without waiting to finish a roll of film.  He was also able to learn how to use it very quickly and it takes nice pictures.  No viewfinded...

The Olympus FE-179 is a great camera with many picture options, perhaps to many.  There are some downsides:
1.  The LCD is worthless in sun light.  Using the view find in combination with the zoom will leave you taking a picture of something different than what you see.
2. The battery is a not a standard battery and you will need an Olympus charger to charge it.  Unless you have a spare battery your picture taking will end when the battery dies.
3.  Before you use this camera I suggest you go through the menu several times.  There are many many choices and getting the most from this camera require... review »
