Olympus FE-280 Review at Steves Digicams

Olympus FE-280Steves Digicams have reviewed the Olympus FE-280, an entry-level 8 megapixel digital camera.

“The image quality was average for a consumer model. The sample shots showed good color saturation and nicely exposed images. The images were sharp in the middle, but get a little soft around the edges. This is ok for small prints, but will become more noticeable as the print size gets larger. When shooting in DIS (Digital Image Stabilization) mode, the level of noise did increase noticeably. This is due to the increase in ISO to raise the shutter speed. This is how the camera makes up for the slight shaking of the camera as you are taking a picture. While it will help in well lit situations since the camera won’t have to raise the ISO very much, in low light, it will add much more noise, lowering the quality of your pictures. “
