Olympus FE-200
Editor's Review
The Olympus FE-200 enters the wide-angle wars with its 5x optical zoom 28-140mm lens. It's a nice little perk in an otherwise normal camera, perfect for mainstream digital camera users looking for a little boost in their everyday shooting.

Olympus FE-200 Comments & Questions (write your own!)
The Olympus FE-200 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) has been reviewed as being comfortable for larger hands- the control pad is more spaced out. But I haven't heard how well this camera works, so you may want to do some more research on it before you buy anything.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ20 ( digitalcamera-hq.com/digita... ) is another one that may work for you.

This camera does everything I ask of it, and very well! Has also handled some mild abuse.
As an architect, the extra wide angle range of this camera is extremely important for shooting buildings and interiors.

Have a week's experience with this model, and about 200 pics. Outdoors, and indoors with good lighting the pics are quite good for a p&s. Low light leaves something to be desired (f3.3 aperture I believe). It's a bit slow to get ready to shot from being off (and vice versa) but I really purchased it for its wide angle lens features, and have found it to have enough battery to get through a day jaunt with me without needing a re-charge (lots of being switched on and off, almost two hundred shots). Hope previous review is correct, and a firmware upgrade is coming as I really do like the cam, but would love it if it were a bit faster in shooting.

I have been using this little camera for these last couple of days. It's a fun and the pictures are excellent. It is my retiring toy.

It����s not a profissional camera but good for my work ( I take photos of very small things ). The FE 200 will be a lot better with a new Firmware to make it faster and more sensible. I wait for a Olympus response. When it change the Overall Rating will pass from three stars to four or five stars.
