  •   Ultraslim Stainless Metal Exterior

    With an ultra-slim, stainless metal exterior and available in three brilliant colours: red, black and silver, the Olympus FE-280 represents a new generation of fun and easy digital photography.

    Boasting 8.0 megapixels of detail-capturing power, the FE-280 takes you further with the greatest of ease. A 3x optical zoom comes together with the large 2.5" LCD to make framing and reviewing shots a breeze. The integrated TruePic III image processor ensures that every pixel is immortalised in true Olympus quality, while the high ISO settings help to prevent blur caused by camera shake.

    Operation of the Olympus FE-280 is as simple as it gets: Designed according to the "One-button, one-function" principle, this camera also includes a guide function, so additional support is always at your fingertips. 20 scene modes including Underwater Wide and Macro ensure the ability to quickly and seamlessly adjust to almost any shooting situation. An optional underwater case is additionally available for more fun up to 40m beneath the water's surface.
