Jan. 22, 2008 - Olympus today announced four new models in its FE-line of point-and-shoot digital cameras: the FE-310, FE-320, FE-340, and FE-350. All four offer a number of features, including an 8-megapixel, 1/2.5-inch CCD, digital image stabilization, and face detection. The FE-310 will retail for $149.99, the FE-320 for $179.99, the FE-340 for $199.99, and the FE-350 for $249.99; all are available this month.
The $149.99 FE-310, a budget-friendly model, features a 5x optical zoom lens; significantly longer than the ones found on most entry-level point-and-shoots at this price. It has a 2.5-inch, 154,000-pixel LCD, and 13 Scene modes, which cover the basics like Portrait, Landscape, and Spot. There are no preset white balance modes to be found on the FE-310; only Auto white balance is available. It also uses Olympus’ new TruePic III image processor and records movies with sound in 640 x 480 or 320 x 240 resolution at 15 frames per second (fps), and runs on two AA batteries.
