Serves the purpose as a cheap point & shoot, indoor is awful
PROS: Very small, lightweight, decent outdoor picture quality, average to above average color saturation, large LCD for its size, easy to use menus and buttons.
CONS: Lens is noisy extending/retracting and stays open while reviewing pictures which is bad because of fingerprints on the lens when someone grabs it. Indoor picture quality is very grainy in all modes and has a lot of artifacts. Image stabilization appears to be a scene mode, meaning you can't turn it on while in another scene mode (night/portrait/indoor/etc), you have to choose between stabilization or one of the other modes. Olympus claims this camera supports MicroSD cards, but in reality it only supports XD cards, but includes a MicroSD->XD adapter that you can put your MSD card into. This makes it one more step if you like to remove your MSD card to use in a card reader. The USB connector is on the bottom of the camera, which was a really bad choice by Olympus because you have to set the camera on the LCD or the lens to plug in the cord.
OTHER THOUGHTS: I got this camera for about sixty bucks on sale, which is the only reason it's worth it to me. The outdoor pictures are not as crisp and clean as my Canon cameras (A80 powershot, elph, etc). Actually they're not even as crisp as my old Fuji Finepix 1400z, but they look good anyway, and print quality isn't bad. Indoor shots are another story completely. I adjusted the iso and picture modes all over the place and I couldn't get a clean picture using flash indoors. Every single picture was grainy. To understand the grainy I'm talking about, take a mid range point and shoot camera like a Canon Powershot and set it to iso 800 no flash in a dark room with a lamp or two illuminating your subject, or at a concert with no flash and high iso. That's what this looks like on iso 100 in a somewhat well lit room using flash indoors.
CONCLUSION: Overall this is a nice little camera if you can get it for 80 or less and don't do a lot of indoor picture taking. I wouldn't recommend this camera if you're looking to take good quality indoor pictures that you want to archive or print for years to come. I would give this camera 4 stars if the pictures were as good as my A80, but because of that, 3 stars. I would only give it 1-2 stars if the outdoor quality was as bad as the indoor.

not so bad but expected better
Well there's good and bad with this camera. One thing is if you set the picture quality on "normal" you will get somewhat fuzzy or blurry photos like some others have said, although your picture files won't be so large size in megabytes. With quality set on "fine" the pictures are decent, but file size is large, almost too large. Colors on some photos sometimes come out too reddish. Outdoor movies can come out horrible, very red, overall this is not a good movie camera, Samsungs tend to be very good for movies. Battery life is very good, drain it at least once and then fully charge, it will improve. Good small size and fairly easy to use, everything else is OK.

Great value for a basic easy-to-use point-and-shoot camera
I brought this Olympus FE-20 digital camera for my children who start to get interested in taking pictures/movies during field trips and family vacations. The price is unbeatable, less $100 I paid. After I tried it for about a week, it met all my expectations.
Pros:
+ good price for a slim easy-to-use point-and-shoot digital camera
+ takes clear pictures and decent quality movies (640x480)
+ has all the basic features - auto, program, and 12 scene to select
+ small size and very slim, fit easily in a shirt pocket
+ battery life is good
Cons:
- feels cheap with plastic body, and very light (good or bad)
- lense won't retract while reviewing pictures
(my children's fingers have touched the lense few times while grabing to review each other's pictures)
- no sound during movie review, has to download onto computer to hear the sound
- noticable shuttle lack, especially in indoor lighting
- no optical image stabilizer (only digital)

Olympus Cameras HistoryOlympus Corporation (early known as Takachiho Seisakusho) was founded by Takeshi Yamashitaon on October 12, 1919, and initially specialized in microscope and thermometer businesses. The company is named after Mount Olympus, the home of the gods in Greek mythology.
Olympus continued the tradition of manufacturing high-quality optics through the development of camera lenses, starting in 1934. Two years later the Zuiko lens was born.
 Through its history Olympus Company has manufactured various types of cameras: medium-format cameras, fully automatic zoom cameras, 35mm cameras, EE-equipped cameras, autofocus cameras - in different series.
The history of Olympus cameras began in 1936, when they introduced their first camera, the Semi-Olympus I. It was very expensive camera for that time.
In 1959 the first truly innovative camera series was launched - compact and portable (for their time) PEN models. They were half-frame format, allowing 72 pictures of 18 × 24 mm format on a stand... More About Olympus Cameras |
