Colourful cameras ‘are in this autumn’
20 Aug 2008
The number of brightly coloured digital cameras currently available suggests that they are all the rage, a new article suggests.
In a post for the Crave website, Lori Grunin notes that the recent launch of two new models from Olympus are indicative of a trend for manufacturers to offer a splash of colour to their compact models.
Ms Grunin notes that the Olympus FE-360 and the Olympus FE-370 are both ultra-compact models that are equipped with an eight-megapixel CCD sensor and that the two cameras also “have similar attractive designs”.
“In addition to the staid black and silver and omnipresent pink, like many other manufacturers Olympus is offering this pair in eye-searing red and blue,” she notes.
However, some differences are apparent. The FE-360 boasts a 2.5-inch LCD screen in comparison to the FE-370 and although both have a 36-to-108mm-equivalent lens, the latter is a 5x zoom model, compared to the former’s 3x offering.
