bad night pictures and makes you look reallyyyy pale or really dark
i really am disappointed with this. i was excited because it was waterproof and drop proof which i took as being "college proof" since i've ruined 2 cameras by either dropping them or getting them wet. however it's almost not worth the crappy pictures it takes. they're all blurry, have this weird glowy haze, HORRIBLE night picture, like absolutely horrible, and it either makes you look really really pale or really really like reddish brown depending on your skin color. i really hate this camera. maybe it's just mine?

Good choice...
If your getting a camera for a college student (as I did) whose previos camera bit the dust (as our's did) at the beach, try this one. It's sealed against water and sand and dust. The pictures have been excellent. You can read about the rest of the features and specs on the Olympus and Amazon websites. Get a spare battery with a higher mAh.

Great vacation camera
I bought my daughter this camera before surf camp this summer. She loves it. Underwater pics are great. Overall, very good picture quality.

Stylus 850
PRO's: Excellent picture quality, very nice slim design, waterproof, shockproof, resistant to cold, very versitile camera that can go anywhere and be used by almost anyone. Camera menus are in my opinion easy to navigate, and the manual features are nice. For inexperienced photographers the stylus has a mannual setting for almost any situation. Of course the auto setting does very well too.
CON's: The video feature on this camera is poor. The picture quality of the video is good, but the sound is poor, and you can only film for 10 seconds at a time. I didn't buy the camera for video, I already have a nice compact HD video camera (Canon HG-10) that meets my needs.
Other Thoughts: The camera takes fantastic underwater pictures, and I am very impressed with what this little camera can do. However, be aware that when you take pics underwater, water or dirt/film can get in between the lens and the lens cover. This will cause some blurring of your pictures. Be sure and clean the internal lens from time to time to ensure the clearest pictures.
I have owned and used several DSLR's. For the money, this is about the best and most versatile camera I have ever had. I can take great pictures anywhere, my wife can use it on auto, and my 2 year old can throw it around or douse it in water. Perfect Camera in my opinion, there is nothing else like it.

very nice camera, but zoom sucks
I love my camera, it takes very nice pictures but when you want to zoom in on things it frankly sucks. Your better off just taking a zoomed picture and then zooming in on what you want when you go home. Otherwise my only other complaint would be is that I ordered a black on and they sent me a blue one. I like the color of the blue one but at first I was frustrated. The pictures are very nice, and the waterproofness of the camera works very well. I've also dropped it a few times, by accident, of course. I'm also in college so this thing has survived hours of continuous use. I don't know why other people complained so much about the battery life. If you let the camera go dead and then charge it, the battery will learn how to last longer. This is the kind of battery that it is. If you put it on the charger too soon it will think that it starts to go dead at the time and the battery life will then decline. I have no other complaints beyond the zoom. If olympus could make a better zoom with maybe a digital zoom then the camera would be more worth the 300 spent on it.

Digital Cameras Novelty - Olympus FE-115Hello! Perhaps, you won’t agree with me, but the topmost news story for today for me seems to be the one from Olympus.
Today, Monday, February 20, 2006, in Singapore, Olympus, a pioneer in digital camera market and the opto-digital technologies leader, has introduced the latest easy-to-use and affordable compact digital camera.
Meet Olympus FE-115!
This new compact digital camera renders digital photography effortless and pleasing. Resting upon a one button - one function design philosophy, such essential functions as shooting, playback and erase are affordable on just one button touch. Besides, users profit from the function “help” in the menu, as it describes all the four scene modes (Portrait, Self-Portrait, Night Scene and Landscape).
Equipped with a 5.0 megapixel CCD, Olympus FE-115 delivers first-class results ensuring every single detail to be precisely captured and reproduced. The camera features a 2.8x optical zoom (equiv. 38-106mm on 35mm cameras) 1:3.0-5.0 for extra versatility by bringing remote objects closer. Moreover, total magnification is extended to more than 11x together with a 4x digital zoom.
But what I find the most attractive and appealing feature of the camera, is that it allows you to capture objects extremely close up!! – the Super Macro mode makes it possible to take pictures from merely 2cm.
Video sequences here are limited only by the size of available memory, what is one more plus in FE-115’s favour.
Additionally, PictBridge support gives a possibility of connection to compatible printers without a PC.
Powered by AA batteries the camera is fitted with a multi-mode built-in flash.
FE-115’s drawbacks?
Perhaps, it’s a rather small 3.8cm/1.5” LCD with 130,000 pixels.
Olympus FE-115 features a 28MB internal memory plus xD-Picture Card slot. The latter can also be viewed as a shortcoming, since xD cards are quite expensive.
Generally, in combination with a light-weight, ergonomically designed box, this new Olympus model is a perfect companion for everyday photographing. It will accompany you wherever and whenever you are heading for.
And, oh yes! One more thing. The FE-115 will be stocked at all major dealers and retailers in mid-March 2006 at a recommended $349 retail price. |
