  By Will Greenwald
  
  Pros: Slim, light design ; Perfect Shot Preview is a handy feature
  
  Cons: performance ; poor picture quality, especially at high ISOs
  
  Verdict: The Olympus FE-300 stands out as a surprisingly small, inexpensive 12-megapixel shooter, though its pictures aren't as impressive as its price.

  Review: Olympus FE-300 compact digital camera
  By Matthew Ruiz

  Pros: Slim design, no fatal flaws, powerful image sensor
  
  Cons: Low number of scene modes, no widescreen video, xD memory card

  Review summary: Among Olympus' Summer 2007 introduction of nine new consumer cameras, the FE-300 stands out by offering a full 12 megapixel of resolution at an affordable price (US$299.99 list). Only a few years ago, this would have been unthinkable, at any price. ...
