The Olympus FE-210 just might be a model to steer clear of. Poor white balance, soft images and sluggish performance, it’s best to give this camera a pass. CNET gave it a 5.4 out of 10 rating.

"The Olympus FE-210 is a compact, inexpensive little camera that tries to be foolproof. Unfortunately, its completely automated modes, disappointing white balance, and mediocre image quality mean all of your non-flash indoor shots will come out soft, blotchy, and yellow. Add to that some disappointing performance numbers and a wholly unimpressive feature set, and you get a very-cheap-seeming digital camera. To Olympus’s credit, the FE-250 fared slightly better in our tests, so if you’re willing to spend a little extra cash, but like the FE design, it might be a better choice."
