Olympus FE130 Digital Camera
Olympus has just announced the Olympus FE130 Digital Camera, it is a real simple to use camera that can effortlessly take high quality pics, just like that. Affordably priced at just $179.99 US, it is the latest in Olympus's line of Point and shoot digital cameras. The most useful feature of the camera is the built in user guide that can take users from menus that describe the cameras' functions directly to the settings needed to take a picture, this is a really good idea because you don't have to carry the manual around all the time or worry about loosing a manual which allot of people just like me seem to do all the time.
Olympus FE130 Digital Camera Features 5.1 million pixels, 3x optical zoom (equiv. 38-114 mm) plus 4x digital zoom which is combined to give you 12x zoom, so virtually no photo opportunity is out of reach, 22 Pre-Set scene modes, 22MB internal memory, 5.1cm/2.0†LCD, ImageLink compatibility (TruePic TURBO enables the cameras to capture information from every pixel with pixel "micro-smoothing"), Digital Image Stabilization Mode for capturing crisp, clear pictures and QuickTime® Movie recording functions.
Olympus FE130 Digital Camera will be available in March 2006. www.olympus.com. Oh also the camera produces high-quality prints that can be cropped and enlarged to 8 x 10 inches and larger.
"I believe the Olympus FE-130 camera provides the best selection of features for first time users to explore digital photography. Features such as the Built-In Help Guide, One-Touch buttons, direct printing, and pre-set scene modes are designed for absolute ease of use. Even though this models is priced affordably, the FE-130 offers incredible image quality."
