Olympus Announces 4 FE-Series Digital Cameras

Olympus today announced four new FE-Series point-and-shoot digital cameras. Slim, compact styling and new features have been added to these latest FE cameras, including Digital Image Stabilization, a large 2.5-inch LCD, a 6.0- megapixel CCD image sensor, a 3x or 5x optical zoom and much more. While the FE-Series digital cameras offer many of the same great features, each camera also has a function of its own: FE-170 ($149.99) enables new users to shoot clear, crisp images with ease. The FE-170’s optional water-resistance case provides worry-free fun at the beach and pool. FE-180 ($179.99) offers longer battery life than most other point and shoot cameras - up to 500 shots on a single charge - with the new bundled Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. FE-190 ($199.99) has a 0.7-inch slim design and durable metal body making this one of the most compact members of the FE family. FE-200 ($249.99) features a 5x wide optical zoom, which makes it easy to get everyone and everything into one shot. The FE-170, 180, 190 and 200 will be available in September 2006.
