I bought an Olympus FE-170(made in China) in Feb.2007 from GK Vale, Bangalore for a supposed to be discounted price of Rs:10,000/= with supposed to be "free" charger, four NiMH rechargeable batteries and one proprietary XD memory card of 512MB. It is lying unused/unusable eversince for the following reasons: 1) The designer's and manufacturer's dummies forgot to incorporate "type of battery" option. (Alkaline, NiMH, etc) in the software, motherboard design and in Settings. 2) The battery… Read Full Review

Avoid the Olympus FE-170 at all costs! There are far, far better cameras out there - and they are a lot cheaper!

The Olympus FE170 has a massive 6 Mega pixels and 3x optical zoom making it a good all rounder. As it records good film as well which is only limited by memory space. It is aimed at the beginners and those who want a fuss-free camera which is what attracted us to it. We must say that the image quality is also superb… Read Full Review
