The Olympus FE series is back and better than ever, with three new cameras joining the updated line-up. They bring you the best of both worlds, uniting user-friendliness and surprising power, making them ideal for hobby photographers on a budget who don’t want to compromise on image quality. The latest additions to the FE series offer up to 5x optical zoom and up to 12 Megapixels. The top model even includes Dual Image Stabilisation. Moreover, all new models incorporate helpful attributes such as Advanced Face Detection Technology and the innovative Intelligent Auto Mode which automatically recognises the five most commonly-used scenes and adjusts settings accordingly. In addition to internal memory, photos can be stored to xD-Picture Card, or – thanks to an included attachment – to a microSD Card.

Each of the new FE models follows a ‘one button, one function’ design principle to ensure easy operation straight out of the box. The FE-5000 and FE-45 will become available in late January, and the FE-3010 in early March 2009.

The FE-45 is the ideal model for users seeking simplicity and versatility. As this model runs on easily-available, standard AA batteries, you’ll never be caught stranded in need of power. In addition, the compact FE-45 combines 10 Megapixels and a 3x optical zoom for great-quality point-and-shoot photography. Functions such as Intelligent Auto Mode and Advanced Face Detection Technology make it easy to get the perfect shot the first time in just about any surroundings. And with Digital Image Stabilisation, the camera boosts image sensor sensitivity to prevent blurry images. The FE-45 is available in elegant shades of gold, black and deep blue. *Equivalent to a 35mm camera

Olympus FE-45
Olympus has an illustrious history in digital SLRs, but it hasn't made a huge mark on the digital compact market in the same way as its old adversaries Nikon and Canon. Judged solely on the FE-45, it isn't too hard to see why. Read more ...

CONSOlympus makes us use an adapter for the Micro SD card, that cost $12.00 + $7.00 S&H ,it could be a fraction of that or free.Since it must have cost about 2 cents to make.
