How to select the right Olympus cameraThe FE-series Although the FE series is Olympus' entry-level lineup, the sleek and slim design lends an elegant touch to the shooters. They have in-camera guides to help beginners take better pictures. According to Olympus, FE stands for Friendly and Easy. Cameras in this series are generally more affordable, which makes them excellent options for shutterbugs on a budget. Price range: S$249 (US$183.33) to S$359 (US$264.31) In this series
Olympus FE-3000 The Japanese company claims that users can operate the FE-3000 even without reading the instruction manual, thanks to the onboard guide and clever shooting modes. These take the guesswork out of exposure settings for different scenes. Besides a 10-megapixel sensor, the FE-3000 also has a 3x optical zoom lens, 2.7-inch LCD and face detection function. 
Olympus FE-360 With a 17.8mm profile, the FE-360 is slimmer than the FE-3000. The stylish metal body houses an 8-megapixel sensor, 2.5-inch LCD and 3x optical zoom lens. The lack of an optical or mechanical image stabilizer (IS) system is replaced by digital IS. This bumps up the ISO sensitivity and shutter speed to capture fast-moving subjects or prevent blur in pictures caused by shaky hands. 
Olympus FE-45 The FE-45 uses the readily available AA-sized cells for operation. This is great for travelers who have difficulty finding an electrical outlet to charge the batteries for their shooters. Beneath its amateurish outlook are features such as a 3x optical zoom lens, 10-megapixel sensor and 2.5-inch LCD. Quick summary Useful onboard guide and large display makes this affordable shooter easy for beginners to start snapping. Tags: Samsung Electronics Co.
