the  olympus fe series is so large , so new

you really have to read the revews on cnet, imaging-resources,
and steve's digicam to find out what they are

and compare it with the canon s729 is at $188

these olympus fe seris will have more or less features, more or less pricy
but then different people need different kind of help from a camera

here is what steve says on the fe 300
Bottom line - the FE-300 is a very simple to use camera with 18 "best shot" modes, face recognition, and a 12-megapixel imaging sensor. As nice as the features are, the picture quality and shooting performance are slightly under par for a camera with a price near US$300. If you like this camera but don't need a 12-megapixel imaging sensor, check out our review of the FE-280 with all the same features in an 8-megapixel model for $50 - $100 less.
thanks steve, see steve here
