The Olympus FE-170 has been looked at by CNET where they state, ' The Olympus FE-170 ships in September, with a suggested retail price of $150.' 'The Olympus FE-170 is the chunkiest and simplest member of the current FE family, measuring 1.2 inches thick and bearing extremely standard snapshot features, such as a 3X optical zoom lens and a 2.5-inch LCD. As an unexpected bonus to an otherwise nondescript point-and-shoot, the FE-170 features digital image stabilization. This feature is standard on all Olympus cameras but is welcome in any sub-$200 camera.'

A new camera by Olympus, the Olympus FE-180 has been Previewed by CNET where they write, ' The Olympus FE-180 ships this September with a suggested retail price of $180.' 'The Olympus FE-180 is a step above entry level in the FE family. Almost identical to the bare-bones FE-170, the FE-180 adds a built-in microphone and speaker to record video with audio. As another bonus, the FE-180 comes with a set of rechargeable nickel-metal-hydride AA batteries, which Olympus claims can provide as many as 500 shots per charge. Besides these minor upgrades, the FE-180 shares the FE-170's standard 3X optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD, and digital image stabilization.'

The Olympus FE-190 has been Previewed by CNET where they state, 'The Olympus FE-190 ships in September with a suggested retail price of $100.' 'The FE-190 is the ultracompact member of the FE family. At 0.7 inch thick and weighing less than four ounces, the FE-190 is one of the smallest budget point-and-shoot cameras yet.The camera shares many attributes with the lower-end FE-180. Like the FE-180, the FE-190 sports a 3X optical zoom lens, a 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a microphone for shooting movies with audio. Because of its slim form, the FE-190 uses a proprietary lithium-ion rechargeable battery, compared to the nickel-metal-hydride AAs of the FE-180. Like the other FE-cameras, the olympus FE-190 includes digital image stabilization.'

The group at CNET takes a look at the Olympus FE-200 where they write, ' The Olympus FE-200 ships later this month with a suggested price of $250.' 'With a 5X optical zoom lens and the biggest price tag among the FE cameras, the Olympus FE-200 is the series' premium member. The FE-200's 28mm-to-140mm-equivalent lens offers a wider than usual wide-angle mode and a 5X telephoto mode for getting closer to your subject. Like the other higher-end models in this line, the FE-200 also sports digital image stabilization, a 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a movie mode with audio. Of course, with its larger lens, the FE-200 is the largest member of the svelte FE family, measuring 1.1 inches across and weighing 5.4 ounces.'

A review of the Canon PowerShot SD630 has been done by Imaging Resource where they write, 'The Canon PowerShot SD630's performance is pretty good overall, starting with its fairly quick startup time of 1.3 seconds. Shutter lag is good at wide angle and telephoto, with a quick "prefocus" time of 0.074 second. ("Prefocus" means half-pressing and holding down the shutter button before the final exposure.) Shot to shot cycle times are a little better than average, at about 1.62 seconds for large/fine JPEGs, averaged over about 20 shots. Continuous-mode speed is slightly slower, at a bit over two frames/second, for 20 shots or more. The flash takes about five seconds to recharge after a full-power shot, about average for this class of camera. Connected to a computer, download speeds are very fast. Bottom line, the SD630 is a good overall camera, with quick response under most normal conditions, despite a slightly limited continuous mode.'
