 A great compact digital camera April 1, 2008

This a great compact digital camera. The pictures are clear and crisp. Images are not blurred and are vry good quality. Took it with me to the opening day of baseball season and I have had numerous folks comment on the quality of pictures this camera took and these comments were from folks that could care less about the game but were more amazed at the quality of the picture. There many different modes you can use to enhance your picture or correct red eye.
I did a lot of research on the camera I wanted. Even bought another camera and took it back after having it for one day. I'm glad I went with the Olympus because it is our second Olympus after about 8 years and
our prior Olympus is still a very good camera.
I did find it less expensive at Office Depot($149.99) and bought it there.
Great camera with lots of options June 22, 2008

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.
I love this new LCD monitor! March 24, 2008

Olympus FE-340 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom (Silver)
This is my third Olympus camera. I love them all. The previous camera, a Stylus 600, is a good camera. However,in sunlight, the LCD monitor was not easy to see. The FE-340's monitor is much improved. Also, this camera has many new features, like the 5X optical zoom that the other cameras do not have. This is the best camera I ever had.

An awesome camera! June 27, 2008

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.

Fun and easy to use. This compact camera is great to take along for business or pleasure. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Have used the camera to do home inspections and document items that need to be corrected. Great pictures even in tight spots. Stores in your shirt pocket.
