Question : Olympus FE-350/FE-340
I have had REALLY bad luck with the Olympus FE-110, FE-210, FE-270, and FE-280, and that is when I lost all faith in Olympus, now I have come crawling back to the FE-3xx series. Are they any better or are they just going to be rusty dust collectors like said cameras that I have ended up selling. I am also looking at:- Olympus FE-340- Olympus FE-350- Olympus Stylus 840- Olympus Stylus 1010 (If worth the extra money from 840)- Canon PowerShot SD1000- Canon PowerShot SD750Opinions
Answer:
Actually, I don't think you're going to find anything remotely good in the whole Olympus FE series (or the Stylus series, for that matter). Save for the ultra-zoom SP series and the water/shock resistant SW series, Olympus simply doesn't make good point & shoot cameras anymore (their DSLR are a whole other matter, though), and the FE and Stylus series have been consistenly using mediocre optics (I don't care about the brand they're using for the design... from a results standpoint, they're just cr*p). Add to that their (now pretty much exclusive) senseless support of the inconvenient xD format, and you have a particularly uninspiring brand choice for a point & shoot camera.As Fhotoace has said, since you probably own some xD cards by now, try the Fujifilm Fxx series, particularly the F40fd or F50fd. They have much better optical quality and ISO performance.

Question : Olympus FE-340 - Softer focus
Hi, I have an Olympus FE-340.I find the photos are often very bright and, for example, can make peoples skin look very white and unnatural. What setting can I change to make the picture softer
Answer:
Look at the exposure compensation on the camera. Try -1 to lower the exposure of the pictures taken. It seems that most of your pictures are overexposed. BY the way in taking digital pictures (just like slides or any positive images), you can get away with slightly under exposed images and you can just adjust it in your photo software.Look at page 14 of manual which i have a link here to adjust exposure compensation. Also try page 6 and adjust according to the scene you are taking/ If it is night, portrait, landscape etc
