Olympus's £100 2007 compact — 7.1MP 1/2.5in CCD, 3x zoom, 2.5in LCD, xD storage; also sold as X-815/C-510

The Olympus FE-270 was a 7.1-megapixel budget digital compact that reached shops in September 2007 at around £100, part of the entry-level FE line. The same camera was sold as the Olympus X-815 and C-510 in other markets — Olympus's own instruction manual covers all three names — so listings under any of the three describe the identical body.

It pairs a 7.1-megapixel 1/2.5in CCD with a 3x optical zoom (six elements in five groups) and 4x digital zoom, framed on a 2.5in (6.4cm) LCD. Fifteen scene modes, including indoor and self-portrait, cover its automatic-only exposure system, and there is a 16:9 aspect option. Motion JPEG video records at 15 frames per second, and around 6.9MB of internal memory supplements removable xD-Picture Card storage.

This was a camera for uncomplicated snapshots: no manual exposure, modest zoom and a simple menu-driven interface. It suits buyers after a cheap CCD-era compact for casual colour-rich daylight shooting; the 15fps video and small screen resolution date it, and low light quickly pushes the little flash to its limits.

Check xD-Picture Card availability before buying — the format is discontinued and cards cost disproportionately on the used market, while internal memory holds only a handful of frames. Verify the battery charges and holds capacity, that the lens extends cleanly without a lens-error message, and inspect the LCD for cracks, since there is no optical viewfinder to fall back on.
