Olympus FE-200 Review at CNET

October 20, 2006 | Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | Comment |

Olympus FE-200CNET have the first review of the wide-angle, 5x zoom Olympus FE-200 digital camera, a 6 megapixel model with a 28-140mm lens.

“While Olympus positions the FE-200 as the flagship of its FE-series, it performs dismally; worse, even, than the disappointing FE-170. We had to wait 4 seconds between turning the camera on and taking our first shot; then, the camera paused an excruciating 7.3 seconds between subsequent shots, regardless of whether the flash was turned on or off. Shutter lag was a just-tolerable 1 second in bright light, increasing to 1.3 seconds in dim light. While we can manage with a sluggish shutter, the time lag in between shots renders the camera almost useless.”
