Smitten by Olympus2008-05-14
Here I go again! Just 5 weeks after my wife and I bought the Olympus FE-340 and FE-290 on the same day (see my other reviews), we decided to go ahead and buy another digital point-and-shoot. No, nothing was wrong with the earlier two cameras, we just decided that since they were very inexpensive, why don't we buy another one and just stuff one in each of the 3 cars in our household? That way, we don't have to keep reminding ourselves to bring a camera whenever we go somewhere. And since we were so impressed with the FE-340 and FE-290, there was nothing else on our minds but another Olympus. We have already gone thru a lot (as in a lot!) of cameras in our 26 years in the hobby and we've outgrown that desire for all the bells and whistles that can be found in other brands and models in this category. Let me make one thing clear to you: just the fact that you're searching for cameras in this category means that YOU WON'T USE THOSE ADVANCED FEATURES you're looking for in other models. I am definite that you'll never get out of the all-auto mode in 99.99% of your shots! If you do, I am also sure that you won't even be searching in this category! C'mon! The real purpose in looking for a point-and-shoot is just exactly that - so you can just point-and-shoot! And for that, this FE-240 is more than adequate - nice optical zoom range, nice LCD size, nice button placements - all at a price way more inexpensive than inferior models from other brands!
Olypus Stylus FE2402007-12-28
Pretty neat little camera, I bought this as a Christmas gift and it arrived really quickly. Comes with USB cable, wrist strap and battery charger. Holds 12 high res pics without a memory card, and about 100 low res. I recommend a memory card in addition. Good item for the price.
Great first couple months....2007-12-13
I purchased this camera in late June and had the greatest luck. It takes great action shots of kids playing soccer! But as time wore on the camera started to not function properly. And I rarely use this camera and have been especially good care of it. It now will only take one picture at a time. Where as it used to take picture and you only had to wait one second for the screen to clear. But now I have to completely take the battery out to get the camera to turn off. All the buttons freeze up. Maybe I just have a lemon in this camera, because everyone else's reviews are great. Overall good camera for the price. But not I'm not impressed at all. If you are looking for a good camera. Go for a sony or Nikon.
indoor pictures are awful!2007-11-28
From an another point and shoot camera, I opted for Olympus FE-240 in spring 2007. It is not difiicult to use, but pictures taken in indoor are very much deceiving. When I compare those pictures taken by other cameras at the same place and the same time, I am really frustrated...
Easy to use But....2007-11-21
The camera is very easy to use, but the picture quality isn't great. I have a Sony Handycam with digital camera(1.5 Megapixel) which takes better picture (may not have the resolution).

Overall a good and very handy camera for the price I paid. Amazon did a good job in shipping it promptly.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me? Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents. User types: Home user | Budding novelist | Digital photographer | Entrepreneur | Corporate cog | Frequent flier Home user  The home user demands a lot from a printer. The device must tackle everything from a book report to a newsletter to the occasional snapshot--all without breaking the budget. This is why for most home users, the best choice is a versatile and affordable printer, such as a small-office/home-office color ...
Audio & Video Connections Guide
" For a list of all the ways technology has failed to improve the quality of life, please press three." - Alice Kahn This quote is certainly applicable to consumer electronics. From the very first commercially produced radios to the latest in high-definition television technology, the manner in which the components used to deliver our news, music, movies and entertainment are interconnected seems to have escaped logic. For both the newcomer and the old hand alike, connecting equipment in the most efficient and effective manner can be a painful chore. It is hoped this article will improve your background knowledge concerning potential A/V system connection schemes and where each is most appropriate. The next time you find yourself in a "connectivity quandary" perhaps the ideas shared here will help you to quickly solve the riddle of which wire goes where and why!
