We have always liked Olympus Cameras we tried a different brand and was just disappointed. We love the body style of the FE340 and how easy it is to use. The quality of the pictures are great this camera will not disappoint any one that would buy and use it and the price was great...
The 8MP is more than enough. The Zoom features are fantastic.. Enjoy if you buy it..

I love this camera. It takes great pictures even when the subject is moving. I am glad I chose it. It is the right size to fit in my purse and easy to learn to use. The Olympus makes a good digital camera. The only thing is does not come with the xd picture card like some other digitals. But was at a great price, new and again a great digital camera if you are looking for a point and shoot.

The Olympus FE-340 is a great product. I have never taken better picture with any other camera before. I can shoot from inside the car and half the time the pictures look better than a shot taken while standing. It's amazing! I also love the feature that allows you to zoom in on the pictures that you've shot and that you can crop and brighten the photos right on the camera. It is light weight and compact, a great color, and it has a great zoom. This is a great camera for any photographer.

Great camera with lots of options

I love this camera. My husband and I replaced an old Kodak and did a lot of research to find something decent for our money. I really like the different features to choose from. Other customers have mentioned their pictures were washed out. I did not encounter that problem unless I chose the wrong setting to shoot the picture. I found that indoor pictures taken on the automatic setting look yellowed (depending on the lighting), however if the shot is taken on the indoor setting the pictures come out fine.

I also love the action shot setting. I took some great photos of my husband and son jumping through a wave in the Atlantic Ocean. You can see the individual water droplets around them! I like that the pictures come out clear and are not pixilated, even when taken from a distance and zoomed in.

The video option is nice if you don't want to lug around a lot of equipment. I was amazed at how many video snipets we took while vacationing and we still had a lot of memory left over. You can also choose to capture sound with each photo taken. For someone who wants to remember names, dates, or specific places this can be a great feature. We have captured our son saying some of the funniest things after the shot was taken!

We purchased this camera to take on a cruise to document my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. I would trust this product for any of your precious memories.

A note of caution, if you do not pick up the memory card M+, you will find that the camera speed is slow. I talked with a sales manager at Circuit City and he said it was the memory card that slows down the camera reset time, not the camera itself. So if you want it to be ready to take another picture fast, spend the extra money and get the better card.
