Olympus's 2009 slim entry compact, X-badged twin of the FE-4010 — 12MP CCD, 26-105mm equivalent 4x zoom
The X-930 is the regional twin of the Olympus FE-4010, an entry compact announced in August 2009 — Olympus published one instruction manual covering FE-5020/X-935 and FE-4010/X-930. X-series badges appeared mainly on Asian-market and channel-specific stock.
A 12-megapixel CCD (3968x2976) sits behind a 4x wide zoom of 26.3-105mm equivalent, f/2.6-5.9, with four aspherical elements in a slim 101g body. The 2.7in LCD frames shots, ISO reaches 3200, face detection tracks up to 16 faces, and stabilisation is digital. Storage is xD-Picture Card, with microSD usable via Olympus's MASD-1 adapter, and power is the compact LI-42B lithium-ion battery.
It makes sense as a cheap, slim snapshot CCD compact with a wider-than-typical 26mm lens for its class; low-light work exposes the digital-only stabilisation and small sensor, so it is best treated as a daylight camera.
Buying used, favour examples sold with an xD card or the microSD adapter, as xD media is discontinued and adapters are fiddly to source separately. LI-42B batteries are still widely available third-party. Check the sliding-thin body for dents that can bind the lens, and test full zoom travel and flash.
