This 12MP, 4x zoom ultra-compact may be cheap, but it's no bargain.

Olympus FE-4000

 

With 12 megapixels, you can always be confident that each picture you take will be of the highest quality. You will be able to take pictures which are high enough resolution to print, even when you zoom in and crop out the parts you don't want.

Want to capture a movie instead of a picture? No problem. The FE-4000 allows you to shoot video in the VGA mode. Sharing videos is easy as well, with the OLYMPUS Master 2 software that is included with the purchase of your Olympus FE-4000.

Olympus FE-4000 review

 

Olympus FE-4000: It's slim, cheap and shiny, but is it any good?

Slim, cheap

Image quality, performance, build quality

The Olympus FE-4000 is a shockingly bad camera even by budget compact standards. It has inferior build quality, appallingly slow performance and image quality worse than most mobile phone cameras. In short, avoid.

Olympus FE-4000

 

The Olympus FE-4000 struggles to take a decent snap. I found the pictures to lack focus and to lose definition in the lighter areas of any shot. There is also a serious issue with the delay time between clicking the shutter button and the picture being...

Ease of use - low price pocket camera

Picture quality - slow turn on time - very slow shutter lag times

The Olympus FE-4000 is not a camera I can recommend. Picture quality is wide of the mark even for a cheaper pocket camera and shutter delay times could be a big issue.

Picture is very unclear, I purchased this camera for my daughters birthday gift and she knows far better than I do about technology. She has tried every setting combination possible and still the camera has not produced one quality picture....
