The high-tech and user friendly Olympus FE series is sure to be a hit with users who want high image quality regardless of their budget. The 12-megapixel FE cameras boast up to 5x super wide optical zoom for great panorama shots or close-ups of distant subjects. The Olympus FE-5020 looks especially striking thanks to a double layered crystal shell finish. In addition, it offers a practical AF tracking feature which ensures that even moving subjects are in focus at all times. Also on board are advanced face detection technology and the i-Auto mode, which automatically identifies five commonly-encountered types of scenes and adjusts settings accordingly. more info

terrible picture quality
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
First of all do not do business with Cameta Camera. We explained all the issues with the camera and they would not take it back because it was not within their 14 days. The camera was bought as a Christmas gift and was opened at a later time and we tried to return it 3 days after opening it. This is somewhat understandable, but the gentleman on the phone was down-right rude and refused to hear about the issue.
This is the first Olympus camera we’ve bought and we’re extremely disappointed. We bought a Nikon 7MP a few years ago and we had no problems but looked forward to higher quality pictures. During the first 50 pictures or so only a small percentage of them were somewhat clear and the rest were blurry or distorted. The 12MP quality is 10 times worse than our older 7MP camera. There are numerous different settings so we thought we could have been using bad settings on the camera, so we did a trial and took 35 pictures of the same exact object, which was a bottle sitting on the table. We tried a variety of settings, incluing the automatic ones. In the end we could read the writing on the bottle only 7 times, and they weren’t vivid by any means…so disappointed with the quality of the pictures…terrible, absolutely terrible.

Bought it for my college aged daughter for Christmas. She loves it. It works well, is easy to use and takes great pics!

Great little camera for a very reasonable price plus free shipping from
Amazon. The 24mm wide angle lens makes point and shoot much easier, as it eliminates the hassle of having to back up to include everything or everyone in a close in shot. I would have prefered a written instruction manual as opposed to the supplied CD. The “quick start” instruction sheet is, I think, too brief.

The Olympus Digital camera is a fine product. We purchased one while in the Bahamas and liked it so much that we had to have another one. The 12 M pixels and the 5.0 Optical zoom are a great combo to have. This is my 6th digital camera. It’s the best yet.

I’ve always purchased Olympus cameras because they have the best lenses. Notice the number of medical lenses there are. This new model lives up to my expectations!
