Sniper Elite V2 comes real close to offering players an engaging sniping experience, but ultimately falls a bit short thanks to clunky controls, terrible AI and wonky stealth mechanics.
Even when shooting brightly colored flowers in macro mode, the camera made them lose all the vivid colors, which is surprising since most cameras these days are usually programed to saturate the colors of the image just to make them look livelier.
But its not only the colors, the images taken from the FE-180 lacked sharpness even on the focussed part of the images, and things got a bit worse towards the edges.
It's better to place the camera on a still surface or a tripod and shoot using the night mode when taking pictures in low-light situations. The higher exposure helps the sensor in getting the most of the available lighting, as can be seen in the picture below.
The white balance of the camera cannot be manually set, but it works adequately well by itself.
Conclusion Though it is definitely better than the FE-170, it's still hard to recommend the FE-180 to anyone because of its lackluster performance. The Kodak C433 may be just 4 megapixels but it outperforms the Olympus FE-180 in just about all categories, and even costs much lesser too. I would seriously recommend you to check out other options before you shell out your hard earned Rs. 10,000 (street price) on this one.
