Top Olympus FE-180 Camera Reviews
Cnet wrote a review of the
Olympus FE-180
and said: "The Olympus FE-180 is a fine, inexpensive snapshot
camera. It doesn't have any manual settings to play with, but it
quickly and easily produces attractive images for a low price.
With an included set of rechargeable batteries and a charger,
this sub-$200 shooter is a great deal for anyone who wants
pretty pictures without a lot of trouble or cost."
Olympus FE-180 News Release Summary:
Four New 6.0-Megapixel Cameras Designed For Ease-of-Use with
Built-In Help Guides, Large 2.5-Inch LCDs and Digital Image
Stabilization.
Center Valley, Pa, August 23, 2006 – Olympus today announced
four new FE-Series point-and-shoot digital cameras that combine
stylish design and approachable functionality to provide a
fulfilling digital experience. Slim, compact styling and new
features have been added to these latest FE cameras, including
Digital Image Stabilization, a large 2.5-inch LCD, a
6.0-megapixel CCD image sensor, a 3x or 5x optical zoom and much
more.
“The Olympus FE-Series cameras are designed for effortless
picture taking and provide a variety of user-friendly features
to easily navigate the cameras’ capabilities,” said Naoki Tai,
product manager, Olympus Imaging America Inc. “Features ranging
from the Help Guide to the large LCD screen will provide an
enjoyable digital experience to first-time users. Beyond their
affordable price, the cameras also offer incredible image
quality without a large learning curve.”
Unique Features of The New FE-Series Cameras
While the FE-Series digital cameras offer many of the same great
features, each camera also has an impressive function of its own
to lend an air of distinction, this includes:
FE-180: Offers longer battery life than most other point and
shoot cameras – up to 500 shots on a single charge – with the
new bundled Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. Weddings,
vacations/tours and other lengthy events are no challenge for
this new digital camera.
Easy Operation The new FE-series cameras feature an enhanced
Help Guide that makes digital photography simple for users of
all levels. A tutorial “shooting guide” educates users on tips
for achieving specific effects, such as “shooting into
backlight” and “adjusting coloration.” The shooting guide not
only provides detailed descriptions for various photographic
scenarios, but also actually sets the camera with the touch of a
button, making the transition from learning to doing
instantaneous.
The FE-Series cameras also feature a “One Touch” design with
individual buttons for shooting, reviewing and deleting images,
conveniently located on the top of the cameras with icons so
that frequently used functions can be accessed easily. Shooting,
playback, zoom and delete options are at your fingertips. Macro
mode, flash mode and a self-timer are located on an arrow pad
for quick use while setting up the perfect composition.
Digital Image Stabilization Mode
The new FE cameras feature Digital Image Stabilization Mode for
capturing crisp, clear pictures – free from the blur sometimes
caused by camera shake or moving subjects – with high ISO
sensitivity and fast shutter speed.
Large LCD Provides Clear Images
The large 2.5-inch LCD screens make it easier to see clear
images when composing shots, as well as when gathering friends
and family around to view the results, all without having to lug
a laptop around to present your portable photo gallery exhibit.
Pre-Set Shooting Modes Make It Easy to Capture Great Images
The inclusion of 16 shooting modes, including QuickTime® Movie,
accessed via a rotating dial and menu button on the back of the
cameras makes it easy to capture great images in a variety of
lighting situations, such as Sports, Fireworks, and Night Scene
with Portrait. The FE-180, FE-190 and FE-200 models offer
QuickTime® Movie mode, which enables users to create short
movies of events that can be emailed to family and friends.
Simple Connection to PC
Linking any FE-Series camera to a computer is easy with the USB
Auto Connect feature, which connects the camera directly via USB
2.0 cable and requires no software.
OLYMPUS Master Software
Back at the Windows® PC or Mac®, OLYMPUS Master software
provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An
intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer
quick and simple. Images are searchable by date or keyword in
the Calendar View. With one-click editing tools, such as red-eye
reduction, images can be touched-up before printing or emailing.
Online support, templates and other user services are just a
mouse-click away.
Accessory Neoprene Carrying Case
Olympus’ optional Neoprene Carrying Case offers the camera
protection from the elements and other items in your backpack.
The case is made of soft, flexible neoprene fabric with a
modern, sporty design.
