The Olympus FE-20 Digital Camera is an ultra-compact digital camera with a host of features including a 3x zoom lens, superb capture resolution up to 8.0 Megapixels, and a bright 2.5" high resolution color LCD display. The camera includes innovative Face Detection Technology, which tracks faces within the frame and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures, along with in-camera image editing features and image display options. The FE-20 Allows users to preview setting changes with a unique multi-frame window feature that lets users see the effects of setting changes on their image, and the camera is incredibly easy to use with a simple One-Touch Operation design, and 13 incredibly useful preset scene modes. There is also a built-in Help Guide right in the menu in case you need assistance with the cameras menus and icons.

8.0 Megapixel Resolution
The high-resolution, 8.0 megapixel image sensor of the FE-20 delivers superior quality images and larger sized prints without sacrificing detail
3x Optical Zoom Lens
The 3x optical zoom lens (36-108mm equivalent in 35mm photography) delivers sharp, clear images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step. Adding the 4x digital zoom will let you get even closer with a combined zoom of 12x. The FE-20 is also capable of macro photography with a super macro mode that can focus in as close as 2.0" to the front of the cameras lens
Digital Image Stabilization System
The Digital Image Stabilization utilizes high ISO sensitivity and fast shutter speeds to capture crisp, clear images, preventing low light conditions or fast moving subjects from blurring your images
Slim & Stylish
The FE-20 is amazingly slim at slightly over 1/2-inch thick, so it fits practically anywhere including a pocket or purse. Now you'll have no excuse for not having a quality digital camera handy so you can capture memories wherever you go
17 Shooting Modes
The camera includes 17 shooting modes with 13 Scene modes that cover many common shooting and lighting situations including Portrait, Landscape, Beach & Snow and Sunset, providing you with the ability to take perfect shots with the minimum of fuss and effort
High Quality Video Recording
The FE-20 includes a high quality movie mode that captures VGA resolution video at a rate of 30 fps with sound, so you can use your compact digital still camera to produce superb video clips, and leave the camcorder at home
2.5" LCD Display with Backlight Boost
Compose, view and share your images even in direct sunlight - the 2.5" LCD display features a Backlight Boost Button that provides an extra-bright image for better outdoor visibility. Furthermore the live, multi-frame window on the LCD includes a Perfect Shot Preview feature that lets you see the effects of exposure compensation before you shoot, so you can always capture the perfect shot
Preview Feature
Preview the effects of various settings such as exposure compensation before you shoot using a live, multi-frame window on the LCD
In-Camera Image Editing & Help Guide
Correct shooting mistakes instantly. With the touch of a button, lighten up shadows and remove red-eye so a less-than-perfect shot can still turn out perfect! Learn as you go. The in-camera Help Guides provide a brief description of camera settings and features, conveniently displayed on the LCD, at the push of a button
My Favorites Album
The My Favorites Album built into the camera stores your favorite images so you can quickly and easily find your favorite images and easily share them with friends and family, anytime
Built-in and Expandable Memory
The camera comes equipped with 20.5MB of storage capability, so you can start shooting right out of the box, without the need to purchase a memory card. However if more storage capacity is desired, users can purchase xD-Picture cards to provide up to 2GB of additional capacity
Long-Life Rechargeable Battery
The LI-42B Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery provides long-lasting, economical shooting power so you'll never miss that important shot
Includes Olympus Master 2 Software
Olympus Master 2 Software provides the ultimate in digital imaging management. An intuitive user interface makes downloading to your computer quick and simple, and images are easily organized by folders or albums and searchable by date in Calendar view. Additionally, with one-click editing tools, such as red-eye removal, images can be touched up before printing or e-mailing. Online support, templates, firmware upgrades and other user services are just a mouse-click away.

    Comments about Olympus FE-20 Digital Camera (Black):

    I use my camera when im at special events or just when im out with friends or something. I like this camera because the size is very controlable. As saying controlable i mean it's easy to stick in your purse for the ladies and for the men pockets. The thing that i don't like about it is that audio does not play back on the camera.

    Comments about Olympus FE-20 Digital Camera (Black):

    I have found the Olympus FE-2 Digital Camera easy to use and easy to handle. It is so compact I can put it in my pocket or purse and take it with me where ever I go. The instructions for downloading and printing picures is very understandable, the picures are bright and clear. This is my first camera in years and I found it a little difficult to understand the instructions for using the cameras options and I did have to purchase a larger memory chip. The camera is not as sturdy and I would like, but you can't beat it for the price.
