If you've read any of my digital camera reviews, you'll know that I haven't been that kind to Olympus cameras. Well, I've had a change to try out the FE-290 digital camera and I must admit that I actually liked it! I really liked it!

The photos from the FE-290 are very much improved over... Read full review »
