Do Not Buy This Camera
[ Posted: 2008-11-14 ]
Please see past the perks and notice the simple problem that will waste your money!
The camera has issues with batteries, by issues i mean it will not work on your standard set of batteries (alkaline) because of the large screen and other reasons. I only receive a couple of shots from the batteries, then they die. Also you will be unable to use a view finder because there ISNT one. This means there is no option to save the batteries using a view finder.
DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA.
Run don't Walk away from this camera

Run fast, Run far. This camera doesn't want to operate on any batteries. On FE-310 # 2 so far in two months and the same problem. Tech support advises not to use alkaline batteries(which in fact come with the camera). Told to use NiMH batteries - NADA. Spent about $50 on batteries and chargers. They also gave me "Olympus" rechargeable batteries - still NADA. Sending camera # 2 back to them - hopefully to get a refund.
ok

I do not say the product is not good. Just I do not like it because it is too thick in shape and I do not like to change batteries too much.
Won't Work With Rechargable Batteries
[ Posted: 2008-10-06 ]
Don't buy this camera!!! It will NOT work with NiMH batteries (the manual says it will work with NiMH) and it doesn't fully discharge alkaline batteries. I only got about 50 pictures on the included set of alkaline batteries.
I also didn't think that the pictures were all that sharp, for a 8MP camera. The shutter response is very slow and the face recognition doesn't work until the face fills a large part of the screen.
Overall this is a poor camera.
Good Buy

I purchased the FE-310 and think it is a good buy for the money. I am still learning how to use all the controls.
