from the pics. But then again
I have yet to come across a camera that eliminates the redeye issue. Even
the expensive $800 cameras have that problem.
I have had no problem with 'blurry' pictures. Sounds like the previous
reviewer has a problem with 'camera shake' - i.e. keeping the camera
steady when taking the photo. Additionally, the shutter button is
two-stage. When you depress it half-way the camera focuses and then the
'green light' comes on

I have had no problem with 'blurry' pictures. Sounds like the earlier
reviewer has a problem with 'camera shake' - i.e. keeping the camera
steady when taking the photo. Additionally, the shutter button is
two-stage. When you depress it half-way the camera focuses and then the
'green light' comes on & then you press it all the way and the pic is
taken.
The `nightscene' mode works fine for me. The nightscene mode does not use
flash and is a timed exposure where the shutter opens for a few seconds to
capture the image `as it is' without flash. The camera has to be on a
tripod or placed steady on an object (like a ledge or railing etc.) to get
a good shot. If you take the pic holding the camera in your hand it will
definitely be blurry. There is a good example of a nightscene mode photo
in the `Customer Images' (page 3 of the images) at the top of this page.
Or you can simply use the `Autoflash' mode and take your outdoor photos
with no problem using the built-in flash.
Sounds like somebody did not take the time to read the instruction manual
properly!!
In the end, this is a great
little camera that has provided me and my family with so much fun and
captured wonderful memories.
It's not for the avid or serious photographer. But if you want a camera
for fun and family photos, you can't beat the performance and features at
this price.
I would recommend it to you

Did not work out for me,

I read numerous reviews before I settled on this camera. I just did not
make the right choice. This is my first digital camera. First of all,
about 1/8 of my pictures turn out blurry. Forget taking pictures at night.
100% of those pictures turn on blurry and streaked in spite of the
night-time feature. I do not even bother with night-time photos anymore.
Also, I cannot always get the picture to take. I push down on the button
and nothing happens. I hold the button down and keep pressing harder and
harder and sometime the picture just will not take. This always happens
during an action moment so the entire shot is missed.
Buying extra memory is reasonable and does not have to be Olympus, which
is a plus. I bought a Kodak card that holds 160 pictures for about $15.
You must use lithium batteries. 2 double AA lithium batteries run about
$11. The pictures are easy to transfer to your computer.
In conclusion, I wish I had actually tested out some cameras inside a
store before I purchased this one online. The feel is not the best. The
body is clunky and weighs you down on your travels. Because there is NO
WAY to take a nighttime photo I would not recommend this camera at all.
Also, I have the problem with the faulty snap button too. Try something
else. I thought this was exactly what I wanted. I was wrong.

Fantastic Camera!, December 27, 2005
Reviewer: Goran fan
I bought the Olympus FE-100 as a gift for myself. As a mother of four, I
needed a reliable camera, that would take high quality pictures. I have
owned my camera for approximately three months, and love it! It has many
great features, and is very easy to learn, without tons of technical
reading.
This camera, like most others, does require the use of "good" batteries.
If you try to stick the cheap batteries in it, it just will not work. But
it is worth the extra cost, as the pictures turn out beautiful. I have
already captured so many wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.
You will need an extra memory card, as the camera has a limited amount of
memory, as do most good digital cameras, but you can purchase the extra
memory at a low cost, and it doesn't have to be the Olympus brand. The
memory cards are very easy to install, and make a world of difference.
With one decent memory card, you can take over a hundred great pictures,
before needing to upload them to your computer, making it perfect for
those holidays and special evcnts.
I have always had great sucess with Olympus products, and their customer
support is another great reason to consider purchasing their products.
I read many, many reviews before deciding to purchase this particular
model, and I really feel that I made the best possible choice.
