Olympus / Digital Camera FE 170
Olympus Camera FE 170 Poor quality

Dear Sir,

I brought a an Olympus FE 170 camera (Sr. No. X49019468) in Mumbai last year and it is just out of waranty. I have used the Camera only 5 to 6 times and have handled it very carefully, even storing it along with Silica gel mositure absorber.

In spite of extreme good handling the camera LCD displays hazy lines after few minutes of being on.

I had an option of buying a Canon or a Nikon but stuck to Olympus because of the price points and now am regretting that I havent brought competion products which were slightly expensive but more robust and reliable.

I have taken it to on of the authorized service centre in Mumbai (Kashish Photo Vision) who is charging me Rs. 1900/- (Rs.1600/- for the spare and Rs. 300/- for Service charges) for the CCD spare which has apparantly gone defective.

It is unbelivable that a sparingly used camera can go defective. So much for Olympus Quality control, and I am 100 % sure never to buy an olympus product again.
