Limitations

The Olympus FE-190 has some limitations including the use of the slower xD-Picture Card format which is less common compared to SD cards. The 3x optical zoom is modest and may not satisfy users wanting longer focal lengths. The VGA video resolution is relatively low compared to modern standards, limiting video quality. It lacks advanced manual controls, restricting creative flexibility for experienced photographers. The maximum ISO sensitivity is limited, affecting performance in low-light conditions. Battery life using AA batteries may be shorter compared to newer camera rechargeable batteries.
