About the Olympus FE-5040
The Olympus FE-5040 is a compact released in August 2010, built around a 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor of about 12 megapixels. Its 4x optical zoom covers 26-105 mm in 35mm terms, with a maximum aperture of F2.6 at the wide end and F5.9 at the long end.
The lens starts at 26 mm and ends at 105 mm, a narrower and tighter range than a typical 5x zoom. The body is 96 x 58 x 20 mm and 130 g, with a 2.7-inch monitor. It records to SD or SDHC cards and runs on a Lithium-Ion DB-70 battery supplied with a charger. The modest zoom ratio keeps it simple for light everyday snapshots.
Buying one used
The battery is the Lithium-Ion DB-70; confirm it holds a charge and that the charger comes with it. Storage is SD or SDHC. Check how the 4x lens extends and retracts, and look over the 2.7-inch screen.
