CNET has a review of the Olympus FE-210 and writes, "The Olympus FE-210 is a compact, inexpensive little camera that tries to be foolproof. Unfortunately, its completely automated modes, disappointing white balance, and mediocre image quality mean all of your non-flash indoor shots will come out soft, blotchy, and yellow. Add to that some disappointing performance numbers and a wholly unimpressive feature set, and you get a very-cheap-seeming digital camera. To Olympus's credit, the FE-250 fared slightly better in our tests, so if you're willing to spend a little extra cash, but like the FE design, it might be a better choice."
Steve's Digicams has a review of the Olympus FE-210 and writes, "I was a bit disappointed with the overall performance of this model. Not only is it slow, but the 7-megapixel images it creates are only OK. With a street price of US$199 or less, I feel there are better models out there in this price range. However, if you liked the features found on this camera, take a look at its brother, the FE-230. It's also 7-megapixels, but features a more compact and durable body, better performance, and is only about $50 more."
Digital Camera Review has a review of the Olympus FE-210 and writes, "Image quality from the FE-210 was pretty average, but good for a camera that you can get for less than $150. Color reproduction was good, exposure was generally good, but details and contrast were just a bit less than you would see from a slightly more expensive camera. Lens distortion was noticeable – both barrel distortion (straight lines bow out of the middle) at the wide angle setting and pincushion distortion (straight lines bow toward the middle). Chromatic aberration is only a problem if you really zoom in on areas of high contrast transitions. ... If you’re in the market for a sub-$150 camera, the Olympus FE-210 is a viable option for you. Decent image quality and decent speed of operation are the primary plusses, in my opinion. Another possible selling point, especially for beginning digital camera owners, is Olympus’ built-in guide system that can suggest the settings that you need to get a particular shot."
Cameras.co.uk has a review of the Olympus FE-210 and writes, "It is likely that if you are taking shots of anything from a distance the camera will struggle with focusing. The camera does cope with the glare of the sun and the amount of detail the camera is able to bring out in darker areas of each shot are roughly in line with expectations ... Even taking the low price into account I cannot say the Olympus FE-210 is much of a bargain. Slow to take a snap, minimum built in memory, poor picture quality in lowlight. These are just some of the reasons why I think better value is to be found elsewhere."
