We like:
Solid image quality; robust burst mode; simple operation; bounty of scene modes
We don't like:
No manual controls; slow autofocus; long shutter lag; LCD difficult to view in bright light; motion-picture clips limited to 320x240-pixel resolution
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Olympus FE-120 offers decent 6-megapixel picture quality and a capable burst mode, but its lack of manual controls makes it strictly a casual photographer's mainstay
