Key Advantages

The Olympus FE-100 excels with its compact and lightweight design, making it highly portable. Its 3x optical zoom lens provides flexible framing options for various scenes. The camera's user-friendly interface is suitable for beginners and casual photographers. Battery life is adequate for standard use, supporting AA batteries for easy replacement. The 3.2-megapixel resolution was competitive for its time, delivering reasonable image quality. Compatibility with xD-Picture Cards ensures reliable storage and transfer of photos.

Limitations

The FE-100 has limited low-light performance due to its small sensor size and fixed aperture. Its maximum resolution is modest by modern standards, limiting large print capabilities. The camera lacks advanced manual controls, restricting creative options. Video recording is either absent or very basic. The 1.5-inch LCD screen is small and offers limited clarity. Storage capacity depends on the xD-Picture Card size, which can be more expensive and less common nowadays.
