Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 QD 35mm Film Camera

Pros: Ease of use, many features, telephoto lens, panoramic and regular photos possible
Cons: None That I Have Found

I love my new Olympus Stylus Zoom camera. It was purchased for an upcoming trip to Alaska because I did not have a camera with a zoom lens. I have taken several rolls of film in order to learn how to use the camera, and I'm very satisfied thus far. My...

Pros: Small size , good zoom , good performance in night
Cons: Needs a little "know-how" to get used to

The Olympus cameras are known for its good optics. One of my friends purchased this camera. The best part of this camera is an outstanding zoom of 38 mm to 140 mm packed in an incredibly small size.

Size and Shape
The camera...

Pros: Tiny, Curved, Spot Metering, Long Shutter Speed
Cons: No Bulb Feature

This camera is the longest zoom version of the best, little camera ever made (remember, your reading MY epinion). If you don’t need a zoom lens you can buy the Stylus and save about $150 (read my review on the Olympus Stylus, many of the features are the...

Pros: Great price, quality optics, name brand.
Cons: Body color, mid-roll rewind button.

ME AND MY CAMERAS
There's one member in every family who's always snapping pictures -- that would be me. I've owned cameras for about 25 years. From my first "instamatic" camera with the rotating pop-off flash bulbs, to a brief period where...

Pros: Easy to use, spot focus feature helpful, fits in pocket
Cons: A little loud and flash options hard to use

This camera stands out from the other P&S cameras for the following reasons:

- The curved clamshell design means you can put it in your pants pocket. It doesn't stick out uncomfortably like other cameras.

- It has one of the...

Pros: Extended zoom, weather resistant
Cons: None really.

I purchased an Olympus Stylus Zoom (38-70mm) as a gift over 4yrs. ago and was impressed with the pictures it took. The camera was compact, weather resistant and well made. It simply didn't have as much zoom as I like. Feedback from friends indicated an...

Pros: design, reliable, high-tech
Cons: may be a bit difficult to use at first

This camera is a very good purchase and well worth the money. Great features and very dependable. The ease of use may be a bit difficult at first but after, this camera is a piece of cake. Since it's weather-proof, the reliability is very high. The...

Pros: lightweight, compact,
Cons: none that I can find

My previous camera was an Olympus Superzoom 3000 Deluxe and I had it for approximately seven years. So when it needed to be replaced, I looked at many different brands and styles and decided on the Olympus 140 Quarts Date.

This camera is a...

Pros: small, good zoom, sturdy, panoramic setting
Cons: date/time imprint small

I tend to be hard on cameras taking them everywhere, and they occasionally bang into things as they swing from the strap over my arm. So when I went to buy a new camera I was looking for two things.

One, I wanted it to be sturdy. I felt that...

Pros: takes wonderful pictures; not too expensive for such a great quality camera
Cons: can sometimes be hard to hold because of the small size

I love my new Olympus Stylus Zoom camera! My husband and I decided it was time for a new camera. (Masking tape was holding our other one together!) We had never had a camera with a zoom lens and were wanting one for our vacation trips. We purchased...

Pros: lightweight and easy to use
Cons: has a hard time self-focusing sometimes

Since I am the photographer in the family all the time, I wanted to purchase a camera that my husband and son could also use. My requirements were that it be incredibly simple yet able to zoom. In choosing the Olympus, I knew the name had a good...

Pros: Compact lightweight water resistant auto focus 38-140mm zoom lens point and shoot
Cons: touchy film loading

In April 2002 my husband and I bought this Stylus Zoom 140QD camera at our local Wal-Mart, the night before our trip to London and Paris. We physically tried out several cameras on the sales floor, testing out their ease of use and comparing features....

Pros: Weatherproof design, longer zoom
Cons: picture quality is not as expected

I know that I'm in the minority, but...

I struggled for a long time and it came down to two cameras. I read a ton of opinions and consumer reports. After looking at dozens of different cameras in the $150 to $250 price range, I purchased...

Pros: light, intelligent, automatic
Cons: vulnerable, but not as much as I feared 4 years ago.

This camera is marketed in Europe under the name of 'mju' (the greek letter), not as 'stylus'. I selected it after lugging around a large old-fashioned Minolta SLR for many years and wanted something small that I could slip in my pocket or at any rate...

Pros: waterproof, long zoom, sharp pictures
Cons: no exposure compensation feature

Olympus is a trusted manufacturer of fine optics and this zoom camera is not any different than any other products. Olympus zoom 140 is a camera that can do many things but it likes to do them on its own, without any manual adjustments. There are just a...

Pros: Nice size, relatively lightweight, accurate pictures
Cons: No Carrying Case, How long before digital makes 32mm extinct.

What I got: The Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 All weather camera, nothing else included. Overview: I just bought this camera is May 2003, I took in on vacation and I was pretty happy with the results. I have owned Olympus cameras in the past so I ...

Pros: good quality, nice features
Cons: anti red eye doesn't really fix the problem

Having used a wide variety of cameras, from the simplest point and shoots to the most complicated rangefinders, I find the Olympus Stylus Zoom camera to be the best of both worlds. Taking very good pictures without the trouble of lugging around heavy...

Pros: light weight, small, compact, water-resistant, large zoom range, excellent photo quality
Cons: red eye function takes too long to flash

I purchased this camera to replace my Olympus Stylus 70. The lens on this camera captures a surprising amount of detail given the small format. I have taken many excellent snap shot portraits at family gathering and blown them up to 8x10's with...

Pros: Simplicity, features
Cons: none yet

I have owned a Nikon SLR for years and consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to using it. The problem I was having was twofold. First, the Nikon was just too heavy to carry with me on vacations. Second, my wife was having too much...

Pros: easy to use, great zoom, light weight
Cons: produces bad quality pictures, body is too delicate, Olympus customer service is horrible!

My husband bought this camera right before our wedding to take along on our honeymoon to Hawaii. We did tons of research on the web to find the best camera for us. We were looking for a light weight camera with a substantial zoom and good quality...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: A little pricey

I'm not a professional photographer, and this camera takes excellent pictures without being overly complicated. I bought it after a recent vacation made it clear that the little bare-bones camera I'd bought in high school was no longer adequate. After...

Pros: Ease of use, durable, clear pictures
Cons: none

This camera is an excellent and one of easiest and best 35mm's I have ever owned. Although I use an Olympus digital camera a bit more than my Zoom 140, you can't beat the quality of an Olympus 35mm! It is very durable, even water resistant! Fully...

Pros: the best buy for the money
Cons: none

Recently i bought olympus stylus 140 qd from COSTCO store for $239.99.it came with a pouch,a strap,12 exp. film and a battery.we took it on vacation to DISNEY in FLORIDA.camera worked great,except for one problem.Zoom lenses sometimes didn't extend or...

Pros: Nice zoom lens
Cons: Brand new and doesn't work

I bought this a week ago and after installing the battery and film, I slid the lens barrier open and the zoom lens came forward. I was impressed with the zoom lens at this time.

My daughter had her T-ball opening day and I was ready to take...

Pros: Awesome small camera! Picture Quality A+++! Great depth of Field and Good Zoom Speed!
Cons: Won't last long! Zoom function stops working. Focus stops working. Repair exceeds worth!

I own three! Yep, shame on me!!! This camera is perfect for when I don't want to lug around my 35mm SLR's and accessories! It has great picture quality and is easy to use!

However, they seem to have a rather short life cycle! All three have developed problems with focus and zoom functions. Otherwise a really nice camera!?!

I am leaning toward the belief that Olympus is operating under the old "...make the product so it will only last a specific amount of time, at which point we can introduce a "new" model to replace it...".

The Customer Service Representatives must be outsourced to another country, they don't seem to understand english all so well.

Good luck!

I'm a very disapointed caused by a RED EYE phenomenia, It's not reduced at all! this camera is a very good product for natures pictures ' but with out people.
