Olympus FE-170 prices and specs
The FE-170 was produced on Aug 24, 2006 and is on sale in USA for $124.80
The FE-170 belongs to the category of compact cameras. Its main advantage is a small size: the photographer can take it anywhere with himself easily. The Olympus FE-170 is equipped with various automatic modes but you won't shoot pictures of the same perfect quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The FE-170 can shoot pictures at 6 megapixels max resolution. But for better image quality the more important specification is a sensor size. This model has a 1/2.5' (5.744 x 4.308 mm) sensor which means that the camera will shoot pictures with a lower quality than cameras with bigger sensors but instead it has smaller dimensions and weight. And if you want to capture pictures of the professional quality check Sony Alpha a99 II.
The Olympus FE-170 has max shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. It is an average shutter speed that will be enough for shooting action pictures of a very good quality. The FE-170 can even capture videos but the max resolution is not very good - 320 x 240.
The lens is fixed and the camera owner won't be able to change it. The lens has low 3x optical zoom.
