Here is a compact, stylish point-and-shoot camera with a street price of around $185. That’s pretty cheap for an all-metal digital camera. We’re talking about the Olympus FE-190, which just got reviewed at DCRP if you’re interested. The FE-190 has a 6 Megapixel CCD, 3X zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, digital image stabilization, and numerous scene modes. Here’s what DCRP had to say-
"Despite its low price, the FE-190 has a very stylish design and pretty good build quality. It’s as small and light as you’ll find these days, and its metal body makes the FE-190 look a lot more expensive than it really is. The only weak spots can be found on the bottom of the camera, namely the plastic tripod mount and flimsy plastic door over the battery and memory card compartment. On the back of the camera you’ll find a large 2.5" LCD that’s easy to see in all conditions, though the screen resolution is quite low. Like all of Olympus’ point-and-shoot cameras, the FE-190 lacks an optical viewfinder.

Unfortunately, the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies to the Olympus FE-190. Despite its nice design and low price, it’s just too stripped down for me to recommend. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more on a better camera — I’ve listed some of them below to get you started. You’ll be glad you did."
