PMA 2008 Report

Posted by: Ilse Jurrien

The Olympus FE-240 delivers extraordinary magnification power in a surprisingly compact form. Its 5x zoom lens enables users to close in dramatically on any type of action from afar. Yet despite incorporating this high-performance attribute, the metal body - which is available in the choice of silver or black - still easily fits into virtually any pocket. This 7.1 Megapixel FE model boasts exceedingly easy operation and features a large 6.4cm LCD. The Olympus FE-240 has a decided advantage - a 5x zoom lens (equiv. to 38-190mm on a 35mm camera) in an incredibly slim metal body, matched with a resolution of 7.1 Megapixels. It is therefore perfect for those who want to enjoy power and quality.

Like all FE series cameras, this model stresses the ease of use factor through the “one button, one function” design principle. In addition, 15 scene modes even allow beginners to achieve great results. Main functions are conveniently controlled via a mode dial that lets users choose between the eight different programmes, including a High ISO Setting mode with ISO 1000 and movie shooting. Furthermore, a total of 25 languages on board means the Olympus FE-240 digital camera will feel right at home in any corner of Europe. An xD-Picture Card slot, in addition to the internal memory, makes for shooting fun without limits. Finally, the included Olympus Master software makes editing and archiving pictures on the computer a cinch. The intense-zooming FE-240 will hit stores in February 2007.

Controlling the camera becomes child’s play. All essential functions like shooting, playback and viewing on the LCD, as well as erasing, are easily activated via a single button. A special shooting mode, where the camera automatically increases ISO sensitivity to allow shorter shutter speeds - which helps to avoid image blur caused by camera shake or by fast-moving objects. Developed by Olympus, the TruePic Turbo image processor automatically enhances important aspects of image quality: colour reproduction (colour range, saturation and brightness), picture sharpness, as well as processing speed.

PMA 2009 - The digital SLR camera market is booming. Compared to last year the DSLR camera sales increased with impressive numbers and it seems the digital SLR camera has become a mass consumer product. New entry level D-SLR cameras with 6 Megapixels surprisingly were welcomed very well by the amateur photographer and it seems that within this segment of the digital camera market the resolution range of 6 - 10 Megapixel fulfils the need of the amateur photographer. Without lenses the digital SLR camera would not be complete and it is for that reason we see a huge number of digital SLR lens introductions appear this year. There are multiple camera manufacturers offering their best own brand solution for its DSLR camera, but there are even more specialized lens manufacturers who offer an impressive number of lens solutions too.
