Olympus FE-150
Product Rating  
Of all the cameras in the Olympus FE range, the Olympus FE-150 has the widest angle lens ( a 35mm equivalent of 32-96mm.) Combined with 5 megapixels and 3x optical zoom, it suggests a good quality point and shoot. The LCD screen is huge, measuring 2.5". There are only 5 scene modes which is not many compared to the 20 available on the Olympus FE-140 and the internal memory is very low at only 9MB so you'll need to make use of the xD-Picture Card slot. The Olympus FE-150 is a smart looking compact in a metal body.
Features of the Olympus FE-150 include:
- 5.0 million pixels
- 3x optical zoom (equiv. 32-96 mm)
- Metal body
- 9MB internal memory
- 6.4cm/2.5” LCD
- 5 scene modes
- Movie recording function (up to memory card's capacity)

In the box: Camera. Li-Ion battery (partially charged). Mains lead (for charger) and Charger. Euro mains lead for charger. Installation cd and manual on cd. Instruction manual on paper. TV AV cable. Wrist strap.
Pros: 5 Mpix Metal body Light Slimline Large screen Respectable image quality. Excellent Macro mode. 2 year manufacturer guarantee Good price (£150)
Cons: Everytime you connect it to the PC you have to chooose the mode (pc, pictbridge etc.) you want from the options on the camera screen which is normally laid face down on the desk. No docking cradle available (not an issue until I found out about the above). Battery charges out of camera unless you buy optional extra lead (£15 off Ebay). This means repeated opening and closing of the compartment door. Some features (such as panoramic mode) not available unless you buy an Olympus XD card. n.b. Fuji cards don't unlock the options. It must be Olympus branded. No "protect all pictures" function, only individually. Shutter button not as responsive as I had hoped - half click is very slight, and you can barely feel the button move. What feels like a half-click is a full one. When removing the XD card (for using in a PC card reader for example) the filename count resets meaning you will end up with duplicate filenames on the PC. This is a real pain! Major lack of manual controls - yeah it's not a manual camera but the ability to specify ISO etc as seen on similar cameras would be nice. Overall whilst the image is good, the other factors pull this down to an "average" rating of 2 stars. Disappointed.
