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. With a street price of US$199 or less, I feel there are better models out there in this price range. However, if you liked the features found on this camera, take a look at its brother, the FE-230. It's also 7-megapixels, but features a more compact and durable body, better performance, and is only about $50 more. : With poor indoor white balance, soft images, and sluggish performance, it's best to give this camera a pass. Although the Olympus FE-210 is relatively inexpensive I would not say it offered good value for money. It struggles indoors and also suffers from shutter lag. If you can squeeze a few more pounds into your budget you can find a better camera.

Olympus fe210

Score: 70 Posted 01-Jan-1900 by AliceInChainGuns at Cnet

Pros: Easy to use, high-quality pictures, attractive interface, compact, supports DIS

Cons: Pictures are sometimes fuzzy until the picture is taken and memory is a little pricey.

Conclusion: I just purchased the Olympus fe210, so far it is great. I am not having any trouble taking indoor shots. There are a few settings that you can choose from to get an optimal picture depending on your location. The 3x zoom works great and I was amazed at the detailed pictures it took at longer distances. I've seen camera's that are much worse that are a bit pricier, so don't think because you spend a little more you are getting a better camera.

Great for price

Score: 90 Posted 01-Jan-1900 by Criminallyvu1gar at Cnet

Pros: Works like a camera should, Image stabilization, video mode, easy to use.

Cons: A bit slow, but no big deal, not many features.

Conclusion: I wanted a camera that could take good pictures for under $150. Enter: FE-210. It even came with a memory card (albeit a small 256MB one). I haven't had any trouble with yellow pictures thus far, and many of my pics have been taken in my very yellowly lit dorm.
