The Olympus FE-170 was a thorough disappointment, as I had explained in depth in my review. So when it was time to test its successor, the FE-180, I didn't have much expectations from it, especially considering that most of the technical specs were more or less the same. But thankfully, things were different enough this time around to make it a better camera. Read on.
Build
The FE-180 is comparatively smaller than the FE-170 at 88x60.5x27.5mm and even lighter at 120g. The looks are quite plain and basic, as expected from an entry-level point and shoot camera.
The back of the camera has the basic function buttons like the scene modes, function and menu buttons along with a 2.5", 110,000 px LCD display. The power and the shutter release buttons are located on the top though.
Features
The FE-180 has a camera resolution of 6 megapixels and the basic 3x optical zoom. It uses an xD Picture cards for storage and 2 AA batteries for power.
