New Olympus FE Series of Cameras Offer Premium Looks without the Prices

The new Olympus FE series (FE-5020, FE-4000 and FE-46) digital compact cameras will consistently capture extraordinary, in-focus pictures of your family and friends. Inside their new premium crystal shell finish, the three stylish FE series cameras pack 12 megapixels, creative in-camera Magic Filters and new AF Tracking that keeps fast-moving objects in focus.

The FE-5020 and FE-4000 also have wide-angle zoom lenses inside their new super-slim bodies. The FE-4000 goes to 4x (26mm – 105mm equivalent in 35mm photography) and the FE-5020 goes to 5x (24mm – 120mm equivalent).

Magic Filters included:

• Pop Art – Enhance and saturate colors to create vivid, high-impact pictures
• Pin Hole – Reduce the peripheral brightness of an image as though it were shot through a pin hole
• Fish-Eye – Available on the FE-5020, this filter emulates the wide-angle of a fish-eye lens by taking extremely wide, hemispherical images and magnifying the center of the frame
• Wedding – The FE-4000 and FE-46 also offer this in-camera filter, which encloses the foreground of an image in gentle, pastel colors with a soft, elegant focus

All three new FE cameras will be available in September 2009. The prices are:

• FE-5020 Estimated Street Price: $159.99
• FE-4000 Estimated Street Price: $149.99
• FE-46 Estimated Street Price: $99.99
