    Olympus has really impressed with its FE-250 model and it would serve as a great camera for general use, being slim, stylish and producing great images. Read more

  3. Olympus FE-250

    Reviewer: Imaging Resource
    23 November 2007

    If there's a single reason the Olympus FE-250 isn't a Dave's Pick, it's the price. I really liked the size, weight, control layout and most of the images I took with the FE-250. It certainly is worth considering for anyone who enjoys taking pictures but doesn't like fiddling with camera settings, and that wants a really trim, compact, stylish camera that can be tucked . The FE-250 does all the fiddling for you, providing a couple of clever options to get shots that are... Read more

    The FE-250 doesn’t leave much hope for the models below it. Its lack of manual controls and overall poor image quality might be justifiable if it was offered at a deeply discounted price; the FE-250 has no business being in the $300 price range with better performing, feature-packed cameras by other manufacturers. Perhaps with the latest additions to the FE series, the FE-250’s price will drastically drop, as it should. Read more

  5. Olympus FE-250 Digital Camera Full Review

    Reviewer: Digital Camera Review

    The FE-250 is the best performing model in the current FE lineup.  While its image quality results are similar to the other models, it has the best overall operation speed.  In particular, card access times are much better than its siblings.  Otherwise, the FE-250 still has the slim, well-constructed metal body of the other FE cameras and all of the features that make it very usable for entry level users, like the built-in Guide system and plenty of on-screen help and...

    Olympus Stylus FE-250 Digital Camera 5 After going over tons of reviews for tons of cameras I finally purchased the Olympus FE-250. That was absolutely the best decision I ever made! I love this camera so much. Pics turn out wonderfully. I have only had it for a few weeks and still learning, but it's pretty simple. My favorite part: It takes panoramic pics; it will snap 10 shots super fast. Perfect for getting pics of my kiddos in action! It's so small and compact it... Read more

    The size of the camera is great and easy to use; I was happy with my purchase the only thing is that the quality of the image in the picture is not perfect. Not bad for the price. Read more
