Product Information
The high-tech and user friendly Olympus FE series is sure to be a hit with users who want high image quality regardless of their budget. The 12-megapixel FE cameras boast up to 5x super wide optical zoom for great panorama shots or close-ups of distant subjects. The Olympus FE-5020 looks especially striking thanks to a double layered crystal shell finish. In addition, it offers a practical AF tracking feature which ensures that even moving subjects are in focus at all times. Also on board are advanced face detection technology and the i-Auto mode, which automatically identifies five commonly-encountered types of scenes and adjusts settings accordingly.

Product Features
  • 5x super wide-angle zoom
    All the capabilities you need in one compact lens. The 5x optical zoom gets you close to the action while the 24mm wide-angle lens lets you capture breathtaking panoramas.
  • AF tracking
    The camera automatically tracks the movements of energetic photo targets like kids and pets and continuously adjusts the focus and brightness to easily capture them sharply.
  • Intelligent auto + shadow adjustment
    A highly practical technology that identifies the scene you're shooting, from portrait and landscape to night + portrait, macro and sports, and automatically adjusts the camera's settings to keep both the subject and the background clear and in focus.
  • Magic filter
    Add a little extra dimension of drama or enchantment by applying a filter effect, such as pop art, pinhole or fisheye.
  • Face detection
    Tracks up to 16 faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposures for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
  • Digital image stabilization plus
    With high ISO sensitivity and faster shutter speeds, you can freeze the action to capture sharp, blur-free images, with less noise, even if you or your subject is moving.

    For $117 you can't beat it: Just remember theres a lag!

    Review For: Olympus FE-5020 12.0 MP Digital Camera - Royal blue

    For $117 this is a best buy! The five time optical zoom is a minimum must, while the picture quality rivals any of the other sub-compacts. Most of the time, the picture quality is in stunning high definition, while I have had a couple blurry shots (a lot to do with how it is set up). For the most part, the auto flash, focus, stability, etc. will leave you with some outstanding pictures (close to our SLR). The small size however makes it as easy to carry as a cell phone, but with top quality shots. The downside....the lag!!!! A great clarity shot can take 2 or 3 seconds to snap causing the picture you want to be completly different.

    Would I purchase it again; yes. The price, size and picture quality is well worth the $117. However if size or a little bit more $ is no problem, then I would recommend the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-H20. The FUJIFILM F72EXR is an incredible choice for quality in a sub-compact size.

    My Experience with my Olympus FE 5020 12.0 pixels

    Review For: Olympus FE-5020 12.0 MP Digital Camera - Royal blue

    I like the size of the camera, I like the detail it brings out in the pictures altho the 12 pix does not work on some programs for selling. I have less trouble with blur. I wish that the batteries lasted longer.I bought an extra battery so that I could take pictures for a longer length of time. I would recommend anyone wanting to use it for a while to buy an extra battery. I bought the camera for the pixels and the price. I had an Olympus camera previously and trust the name. Overall I feel it was a good investment.
    definitely go with two batteries. I take a lot of pictures for down loading. The batteries do not last long with constant picture taking. This is my 5th Olympus camera and would buy again.
