Great little camera

First of all I have to say that I am a complete novice to photography and have been looking for a camera that takes decent pictures, is inexpensive and is small enough to put in my pocket. This camera fits the bill and is great. It's compact, takes great pictures, and costs less than $100. There are many features of this camera that I haven't used yet. So as you get more experience with the camera, you might like it even more.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • There are cons

Olympus With Ease on DSLR cameras

Great camera, simple and easy to use. Great photos with lots of detail, since 12 MP. Lightweight, easy to carry and fits comfortably in your pocket or small purse. I love the sleek look and style. The buttons are easy to use. The only slight exception to this camera is that the lenses expand if you just want to "view" photos that were taken when you turn it on. A little annoying. All in all, the Olympus Fe-5020 is a pretty decent camera at this price point and works well for my needs.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • No automatic setup

NEVER BUY THIS CAMERA.

This camera was poorly designed. It felt like a piece of plastic in my hands. The battery has not been charged for more than 5 seconds. I was never able to take a picture because the battery kept running out. Best of all, with a 30-day money-back guarantee, we're 2 days late. It was a present for my daughter and it was packaged well. Bought without reading reviews. I thought it would be a good camera since it was on the Daily Deals. Don't waste money. Get the best camera brand and READ THE…

  • practical item

In general, a great thing and shoot for so much money

I bought this camera for my friend's birthday in June 2011, in general we are very happy with it. Image quality is good in low light and very bright shots, also does well with the motion shots we captured (mostly tube time), good shots in the dark. The camera's features and menus are easy to use, although I didn't like the software that came with it, but it's easy enough to copy and paste files as if you were using a flash drive. Very happy with the overall quality of the camera, although I…

Pros
  • The best in its niche
Cons
  • I don't remember

Good value for money digital camera

I received an Olympus fe360 (gift) a little less than 2 years ago before it was hit by the beach sand and broke despite reviews. Camera. I chose another Olympus because I already had the chip, charger and battery from the first one. So I switched to this new one, Olympus fe5020, and got the whole kit for about $100 (including USB connector, charger and battery). I know some people (in the reviews) didn't like the lag when clicking the image button, but that was a minor detail. I love this…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not everything fits

BIG SMALL CAMERA

I love the Olympus FE-5020 so much. It produces very acceptable images for this price range. Olympus is a brand you can rely on. I also have an Olympus Stylus 500 which I bought 5 years ago and have taken a lot of great pictures with. I see that the previous two reviewers have decided to bring their cameras back. Don't let this camera turn you off. When it comes to image quality, I'm very picky. I was a professional photographer for 20 years before I left the business. Of course there will…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • poorly thought out
