“Excellent analysis of the FE-45, but I read this after buying the camera. I bought it because I once had an Olympus, Infinity Stylus, and took great pictures with it. But from the first picture with the FE-45, I realized that this camera takes poor photos, mediocre, and the screen does not present much information. Lithium Energizer batteries lasted me over 100 photos, but with NiMH batteries last less. But that is resolved by having carrying 6 or 8 AA batteries, or buying the Lithium batteries, that last 7 times more and weigh 30% less, this is small problem. But the greatest problem is the quality of the photos. That is not resolved.
Thanks for the analysis of the FE-45. Now I know not to buy cheap cameras.”

Hi Brad

Traslation in very good. It is exactly all I want to say.

I’m going to keep this camera, maybe I’ll give this to any personal enemy, ja ja ja , really I don’t know what decision to make. I bought two weeks ago, and I thought I was a bad photographer.

If you like, You can include this in my comments, Brad, and thank you for your recomendations.

My English is very bad, excuse me. Im from Lima, Peru

Hi Daniel, before I reply, here’s a translation of your comment for the convenience of DPInterface’s english readers

I hope my translation came out accurate? Thank you for your comment anyway, muchas gracias . There are actually some ‘cheap’ cameras that perform fairly well (for the price), like the Canon A-series, Panasonic’s FS-series (not super cheap, but still low in price), etc. Did you return, exchange or keep your FE-45 camera in the end?

¿Te devolución, cambio o mantener tu FE-45 de la cámara?

Excelente analisis de la FE-45, pero yo también he leído esto después de comprar la cámara. Yo la compré porque antes tenía una cámara Olympus de carrete, Infinito Stylus, y tomaba excelentes fotos con ella. Pero desde la primera foto con la FE-45, me di cuenta que esta cámara toma fotos pobres, mediocres, y en la pantalla no presenta mucha información. Las pilas Energizer de Litium me duraron mas de 100 fotos, pero con las de NiMH duran menos. Pero eso se resuelve teniendo en el bolsillo mas de 6 u 8 pilas AA, o comprando las de Litio, que duran 7 veces mas y pesan 30% menos, esto es problema pequeño. Pero el problema mayor es la calidad de las fotos. Eso no se resuelve.
Gracias por el analisis de la FE-45. Ahora sé que no hay que comprar cámaras baratas.

Hi,

I would have to say this is an excellent review of olympus fe-45. One of the best i have seen so far
Unfortunately i read it after purchasing the camera.

But 1 cannot understand 1 thing. U have mentioned that it can take around 390 pictures before battries(NimH 2500) get empty. I am using camelion NimH battries(2700 mah) and with flash turned on, these fully charged battries only last around 20-30 pictures.

can u please tell me how did it take around 390 pictures? was flash turned off?

N please tell which battries are u using.

thanks alot.
