Description

Want more for less? With a giant 12.0 Megapixels, the Olympus FE-300 is the solution. Encased in a slim, metal body, this model doesn’t compromise functionality for simplicity. A bright 3x optical zoom together with a large 2.5”/6.4cm LCD make framing shots a breeze. Meanwhile, BrightCapture Technology works to improve results in low-light conditions. The integration of the powerful TruePic III image processor puts unprecedented power and image quality at your fingertips.

To keep things nice and easy, the FE-300 features the “One button, one function” design principle. Together with a built-in guide function, it ensures the greatest of photographic ease and flexibility. With 17 scene modes including Candle, Fireworks or Portrait, you may never have to manually adjust a setting again. And using the integrated Face Detection Technology, the inventive Smile Shot mode even recognises faces in a scene and then automatically releases the shutter when subjects smile. Meanwhile, an eight-step mode dial means you’re never more than a few clicks away from the appropriate camera mode and high ISO settings minimise the chance of blur caused by camera shake. Equipped with both internal memory and an xD-Picture Card slot, the FE-300 is ready to capture both still shots and movies with sound up to memory capacity. And the Olympus Master software including the Muvee Pack trial version makes it a cinch to transfer, edit and archive images on a personal computer.

Customer Reviews

so good I bought the company.. well almost.
I bought this camera because it looked to be the best specification for the price and I had previous experience of the quality of Olympus products. I am pleased to say I wasn't dissapointed. The camera is very solid, well made and doesn't have that "too light" and "tinny feel" you get from some other manufacturers.

And then I switched it on and it absolutely blew me away. I also own an Olympus Camedia c4060 which cost a small fortune when I bought it a few years back which has millions of functions and options to provide fantastic photo quality. This has been used for diving underwater, and survived several floods, and is still going. The c4060 doesn't even touch this FE300 for quality of picture, fantastic zoom, and when I manipulate the photographs using the Olympus software the detail provided is immense. I zoom, then zoom again and combined with the anti shake mechanism this camera just amazes every time. No joke you can zoom in on a match head across a 15 foot room and still get the detail. I love this camera it's compact, it goes everywhere with me, the only problem I now have is that I need a new hard drive on my PC to store all of the additional photographs I take and keep.

So in summary, it's incredibly easy to use, takes beautiful photographs with automated functions, and does have some ability to tune the photography if required which enhances the experience. It's probably not going to set a pro photographers pants on fire but it delivers pictures that are near professional quality without the hassle and you know it's probably the best thing I have ever bought for under £200.00.

Brilliant little camera
i have just received this camera today, it is brilliant, easy to set up and the zoom is fantastic. its so tiny compared to my other camera so hope i dont loose it.
