The Worst Digital Cameras of 2009

Digital Camera HQ has brought to us another list, this time the Worst Digital Cameras of 2009, featuring mostly low-end budget digital cameras, with the Olympus FE-45 named as the worst - it features a 10 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, and a 2.5" screen. It is available for £97, however, we think you would be much better off spending a little more on the Panasonic Lumix FS7.

"Last and definitely least is the Olympus FE-45. We can confidently say that this is the worst camera of the year. We haven't received enough user ratings to assign it a letter grade, but the reviews we have seen give it the lowest ranking of the 100 or so cameras we've added to DCHQ in the past year."

Olympus have announced the new budget Olympus FE-45, it features a 10 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, and a 2.5" screen. It will be available in silver, black or blue.

"With the FE-45, Olympus presents an easy-to-use camera that delivers great shots. The new camera has a 10 Megapixel resolution for poster-size prints and a 3x optical zoom allowing you get closer to your subject. Due to the in-camera help guide and "one button, one function" design operating the camera is a real child's play and the Intelligent Auto Mode, Advanced Face Detection, 16 scene modes and Digital Image Stabilisation enable you to easily make the most out of any situation. Welcome to the digital age!"
