Olympus FE-200 Announced

Olympus have announced the new top of the FE (Easy) range FE-200 - it features a wide-angle 5x optical zoom lens (28mm - 135mm), a 6 megapixel sensor, a 2.5" screen, a metal body and high ISO settings to avoid image blur. The camera should be available next month:

"This ultra-compact camera features an impressive 5x zoom lens that stretches from wide-angle – great for landscapes – all the way to telephoto. So, no matter where you are, you can zoom in on the action. And with an intuitive “one button, one function” design and an onboard Help function, the FE-200 is simplicity itself to use. Photos are captured in crystal clarity by the camera’s 6.0 million pixel CCD and, with several special scene modes to choose from great results are all but guaranteed."
