Editorial note

The Olympus FE-4050 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 12 MP sensor and a maximum resolution of 3968 x 2976 pixels, allowing for precise capture of every detail. The built-in image stabilizer enhances the user experience by ensuring sharp photos and videos, even in motion. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design (112 g) makes it easy to carry and use daily, while providing a pleasant grip. The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) hybrid battery technology ensures good performance and durability, ideal for extended use. However, the product also has some drawbacks. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, thus limiting the quality of recorded videos. Furthermore, the 2.7-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 230,000 pixels may seem small and not very precise, making it difficult to view details while shooting. The internal memory of 92 MB is very limited, requiring frequent use of external memory cards to store a sufficient number of photos and videos. Finally, the lack of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity complicates the sharing and transfer of images, making it necessary to use a USB cable or card reader. In summary, the Olympus FE-4050 is a compact camera offering excellent image quality and an enhanced user experience, but it lacks certain modern features that could further enrich its use.
