Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Digital photography made easy! Built-in help guides, one-touch operations, preset scene modes, and a large 2.5-inch LCD are just a few of the features that make using the FE-230 simple and fun.
Stylus FE-230 Highlights
7.1 megapixel CCD sensor The FE-230s high-resolution CCD delivers superior image quality for larger prints without sacrificing detail.
Super-slim body Stay in style! This amazingly slim, .65-inch full-metal body is so thin that you can fashionably fit it in your pocket, take it anywhere you go, and never miss a photo-op.
Digital Image Stabilization mode and Edit Prevent and correct blurry images without a computer! Digital Image Stabilization mode freezes the action with high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speed to capture sharp images even if you or your subject is moving. Digital Image Stabilization Edit uses built-in gyro sensors to track camera movement, so you can fix blurry images right in the camera.
Bright Capture technology Keep it bright even in low light! When shooting or recording in low light, Bright Capture allows you to clearly preview your shot on the LCD and capture brighter, more vivid images -- without a flash.
2.5-inch LCD The large, bright LCD (115,000 pixels) provides easy shooting and sharing of your images with friends and family.
3x optical zoom The precision-crafted Olympus lens delivers sharper, clearer images and brings you closer to the action without taking a step.
19 Shooting modes including Movie with Sound Getting the best shot has never been easier! Preset shooting modes optimize the cameras settings for any shooting situation to ensure you capture a great shot. Select Scene Modes such as Portrait, Landscape, Night Scene, Sports, Beach and Snow, Underwater and more. Records TV-quality AVI movies with sound (640 x 480 resolution at 30fps) up to the capacity of your xD card.

But I am a little disappointed in the quality of the image, considering that it is a 7+ megapixel camera.
It seems to compare with my 3 MP camera, as far as image quality goes. Now that is OK for me, in that I take a lot of 4x6 type snapshots, and send the digtal images to my internet correspondants.
I should mention that I am using a 1 Gig Highspeed memory module, and store my shots uncompressed at the highest resolution. That should be the best image you are going to get. (That still gives me 198 pictures, between storage to the computer.)
But, if you want to take a portrait and stick it in a 8 1/2 x 11 frame, be prepared for a lot of graininess.
Perhaps it has a lot to do with the fact that I take a lot of indoor shots, in dark rooms, with the flash going, and tend to frame my shots, using some zoom. But, if 3X zoom is optical, and I stay below the red line on the zoom graphic, I should not expect much degradation. But it is there, nontheless.
I'm about to go on a cross-country trip to see Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, etc. Let's see how it performs in the full light of day, at wide angle, with no flash.
AFTER MY TRIP - Still not happy with the images. I give up. Went out and bought the Canon SD1000. Same physical size. MUCH better image. I'll review the Canon after I've taken more pics.
