Great camera
- Pros: This is a great little camera. It's easy to operate, users AA batteries instead of some awkward recharging unit. After buying one for myself, I decided to buy another for my son and daughter-in-law. They liked this better than a much more expensive camera they have. The free case is plus too.
- Cons: Does not come with a memory card, but the internal memory will hold 8 shots. Uses the slightly more expensive xD cards. A 2 GB one will cost you about twenty bucks. Newegg does not have the lowest price on them at the present time, so you should look around :(
Great Deal
- Pros: For the price, I can't knock any eggs off. compact, decent sized screen, great zoom for such a compact camera, 8Mp, adequate settings for the novice. Great gift. Free Lowpro camera case.
- Cons: The only major con would be packaging, camera was in a single layer of bubble wrap, and tossed loose into the Olympus box, along with the accessories. I was concerned when I opened the box from Newegg, and everything in the Olympus box was rattling around.
If I was to get nit-picky:
Olympus' proprietary accessories, such as xD cards instead of SD, Newegg had a good price but slim selection, and shipping is ridiculous for something as small as an xD card. You can't use just any ole mini usb cable, you've got to use the Olympus cable, with the proprietary end.
- Other Thoughts: This was bought as a birthday gift for my college age sister, so she can use it to document her summer internship, and all of the weddings she'll be in/at this summer. She loves it, and it's light years beyond the '02 model Sony Cyber Shot it replaced. For around Seventy bucks for a quality camera, xD card, camera bag, and shipping, you really can't beat it.

Don't DO IT
- Pros: Thought it was good at first, and a good deal.
- Cons: I threw away the box so now I can't return it after the screen was broken from regular use, no shock, no impacts. Just broken and with no box I cannot return it.
Also the price was of course lowered after I purchased it, another non shocker.
- Other Thoughts: Don't get scammed, or maybe just don't throw away a cardboard box which makes / breaks a deal with newegg. now I am very unimpressed and will not use your services anymore. I doubt they will care about the loss of one customer. Good bye I now know why your prices are low.
good buy
- Pros: very very good price for a 8 MP, 5x optic zoom camera. i bought eight recertified fe310 from newegg for my family and friends. The cameras are recertified but the box includings are ok and they are all work great.
1920X1080 widescreen mode is great. the picture fits to the 1080p lcd tv screen. video recording is good for a camera in this range of price.
- Cons: just the xd card i think. you have to buy a xd card for this camera. no support for sd or other popular card types.
- Other Thoughts: 1 gig olympus xd card is something very small but the shipment is about 6 bucks.
Good Bang For The $$$
- Pros: 8MP, flash, etc
- Cons: propritary usb connection cable, poor auto-focus, poor auto-settings
- Other Thoughts: Overall the camera does pretty well. I've taken quite a few pictures with it and it blows away what I replaced ( Canon A10). New Egg service is always awesome.
