Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Digital photography made easy! Built-in help guides, one-touch operations, preset scene modes, and a large 2.5-inch LCD are just a few of the features that make using the FE-230 simple and fun.

Stylus FE-230 Highlights

7.1 megapixel CCD sensor The FE-230s high-resolution CCD delivers superior image quality for larger prints without sacrificing detail.

Super-slim body Stay in style! This amazingly slim, .65-inch full-metal body is so thin that you can fashionably fit it in your pocket, take it anywhere you go, and never miss a photo-op.

Digital Image Stabilization mode and Edit Prevent and correct blurry images without a computer! Digital Image Stabilization mode freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speed to capture sharp images even if you or your subject is moving. Digital Image Stabilization Edit uses built-in gyro sensors to track camera movement, so you can fix blurry images right in the camera.

Bright Capture technology Keep it bright even in low light! When shooting or recording in low light, Bright Capture allows you to clearly preview your shot on the LCD and capture brighter, more vivid images -- without a flash.

2.5-inch LCD The large, bright LCD (115,000 pixels) provides easy shooting and sharing of your images with friends and family.

3x optical zoom The precision-crafted Olympus lens delivers sharper, clearer images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step.

19 Shooting modes including Movie with Sound Getting the best shot has never been easier! Preset shooting modes optimize the cameras settings for any shooting situation to ensure you capture a great shot. Select Scene Modes such as Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Sports, Beach and Snow, Underwater and more. Records TV-quality AVI movies with sound (640 x 480 resolution at 30fps) up to the capacity of your xD card.

My Favorites Always keep your favorite memories with you! This in-camera album allows you to store up to 9 of your favorite images to share with friends and family anytime -- using a minimal amount of memory.

TruePic TURBO Image Processor Capture the moment with superior image quality. This exclusive Olympus technology delivers truer colors and quicker start-up, shot-to-shot and shutter release time so you always get the best results.

Sleek, Easy Camera to Use

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is a very sleek, good looking camera that takes very good pictures and you can get it for a super price. It is one of the thinest on the market. It can easily fit into your pocket. Before I purchased the camera, I read the reviews posted on Amazon.com. There were not as many as there are now, but some of them mentioned poor picture quality. I looked at other reviews of this camera on the Internet. These reviews were done by professionals, who did a thorough technical examination of the camera. None of these reviews mentioned any problem with picture quality. Some did say that there was some fuzziness near the outer edge of the lens, but nothing that you would normally notice on a picture. The criticism that they had was the camera has no manual controls. If you want a camera with manual controls, this is not it. However, it is a very easy to use point and shoot camera. You can put it on "Auto" and can continue taking one good picture after another. If you want some control over what you are shooting, you can use the "Scene" selection. This will adjust the camera settings for sports action, beaches, snow, available light, etc. This gives me enough control.

The item I purchased was never received. Followed up with seller after proposed arrival date came and went letting him know I would be requesting a refund. Refund received immediately. No idea what happened to product. I would suggest to seller to use some sort of tracking method with all packages sent via US postal service.

Great Features - Mediochre pictures

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2007

Verified Purchase

I love every feature about this camera. It fits in my breast pocket, the battery lasts forever, switching between picture taking and review couldn't be easier, etc. etc.

But I am a little disappointed in the quality of the image, considering that it is a 7+ megapixel camera.

It seems to compare with my 3 MP camera, as far as image quality goes. Now that is OK for me, in that I take a lot of 4x6 type snapshots, and send the digtal images to my internet correspondants.

I should mention that I am using a 1 Gig Highspeed memory module, and store my shots uncompressed at the highest resolution. That should be the best image you are going to get. (That still gives me 198 pictures, between storage to the computer.)

But, if you want to take a portrait and stick it in a 8 1/2 x 11 frame, be prepared for a lot of graininess.

Perhaps it has a lot to do with the fact that I take a lot of indoor shots, in dark rooms, with the flash going, and tend to frame my shots, using some zoom. But, if 3X zoom is optical, and I stay below the red line on the zoom graphic, I should not expect much degradation. But it is there, nontheless.

I'm about to go on a cross-country trip to see Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, etc. Let's see how it performs in the full light of day, at wide angle, with no flash.

AFTER MY TRIP - Still not happy with the images. I give up. Went out and bought the Canon SD1000. Same physical size. MUCH better image. I'll review the Canon after I've taken more pics.

Simple user interface and large LCD, but poor picture quality

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2007

Verified Purchase

Missing manual mode really hurts, the other automatic scene functions are no comparision to manually adjusting aperture and shutter speed. The worst is the picture quality, grainy, poor exposure..., it is worse than my other 5MP Olympus at HQ mode and definitely uses more memory. Well, its only usage is as a quick point & shoot and easy to carry camera which my wife can fit it in a purse. I will not carry this to any vacation.

GREAT little camera

Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is a great little camera. Great size and very easy to use - very intuative set-up so very little reading of the manual is necessary. Only complaints is picture software that comes with camera doesn't seem email friendly. It is easier to have files upload to your computer then you link them to an email than to use the software's email program (which didn't work for me). Also, when printing, if you wish to adjust the size to a non 'format' size, your only options are by pixel and not inches - so you don't know how to resize something to fit an odd size frame unless you know pixel to inches conversion. The video capabilities of the camera are great and picks up sound well. Love the ability to put images right from the camera onto the TV to see. Picture quality is very clear and when using the sport setting, you can capture very high speed objects. We went to an auto race and with the sport setting were able to get some GREAT CLOSE UP shots of the cars while in motion. For the price, this is a GREAT little camera. Suggestion: buy the silicon skin and a palm type protection clear screen cover to protect the camera screen. Works great!

If I had an enemy, I'd give them my Olympus FE-230

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2012

This camera often makes me want to throw it against the wall. First of all, the battery it came with would hold a charge for about 10 minutes. So I had to buy a new battery for about $50. As well, the on/off button is janky and often I have to open the battery compartment, pull it out and put it back in to get the thing to come on. Then, it takes pictures about one notch above the quality of a Polaroid One-Step. Just a plain old crappy product.

Decent Camera

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2014

I purchased this camera to use with an underwater housing. The camera is OK, not the greatest, but does the job. I have several other cameras, which take a far better picture, but do not have underwater housings. If you are considering this camera for just taking with you on an outing or vacation, there are much better cameras out there with better resolution and higher pixel count.
