Rating: Summary: Love this camera!! Review: I had an Olympus Stylus Zoom 80 for a few years, but I decided I wanted a longer zoom. I shopped around and came to the conclusion that I wanted to stick with the Olympus Stylus series, not only for the price, but because I knew for a fact how great the pictures would turn out and how easy it was to operate! I have had the Olympus Stylus 140 for about 1 year and absolutely love it. It takes awesome, CRYSTAL CLEAR pictures - and it's a point-and-shoot! It's design is sleek and light-weight, the viewfinder is accurate, and the film rewinds pretty quick (good when changing rolls to catch all the action!) It's also very quiet (which is great for the times you're at a wedding or some other event where people might get irritated with outside distractions). I just honestly love everything about it...most of all the resulting pictures, which is really the most important thing! When people see the photographs that I have taken and tell me they have never seen such amazing photos, I proudly tell them what kind of camera I have (and I do consider myself an amatuer)!! I would highly recommend this camera to anyone. You will NOT be disappointed with your purchase!!
Rating: Summary: I had one Review: I had one. A friend dropped it from a three story roof and it broke. I immediately bought another one. Can't imagine buying any other brand or model (love the 140 zoom).
Rating: Summary: Great small camera Review: I have an Cannon EOS for times when I am serious. When I am traveling or am limited on space, I use this camera. It works great!
Rating: Summary: Love It! Review: I have had this camera for 2 years now and wouldn't trade it for anything. We took many pictures while in Ireland and the mist never had an effect on the camera. This was the best investment in a camera that I have made.
Rating: Summary: Great for a Classroom! Review: I have used this camera for several years in primary and kindergarten classrooms. It is perfect! Really gets great shots as it allows you to zoom in on kids' interactions without making them feel uncomfortable with a camera in their faces. It is easy to use and fits my hand comfortably. Do carry an extra battery so you don't get stuck in the middle of the field-trip- of-the-year without POWER!

Rating: Summary: I'm very impressed with my new camera Review: I must say that I'm extremely happy with my purchase of this Olympus camera. I was originally leaning toward a Kodak SureShot, but the Olympus has all the things I'm looking for and more. The zoom lens is very fast and responsive which allows for quick adjustments when I'm particularly indecisive. It takes very clear and true pictures (even when I'm not seeing too clearly, as my friend's birthday photos from on the town will attest). And yes, I paid a few more bucks than I intended, but the photographic evidence tells me it was a wise decision. I expect to enjoy this camera for years to come!
Rating: Summary: Nice quality pics, very good ergodynamics Review: I own a Nikon N6006 SLR and set out to buy a point-and-shoot for convenience. I bought both a Minox CD 140 and an Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 QD. I shot a roll of film with all three at once, then blinded sorted the the match sets of three pictures of each image based on which were best. My findings:1. The Nikon SLR was not consistently the best. In fact, the difference between the pictures from the SLR and the two point and shoots was remarkably smaller than I expected. 2. The Minox had somewhat better color, focusing, and contrast than did the Olympus. The difference, however, was slight. 3. The Olmpus was better designed than the Minox. The Olympus fit better in the hand, the clamshell cover gave more protection, it had a greater zoom range, the viewfinder was slightly larger and set back from the camera body (so your nose doesn't bump the camera as much), and the diopter adjustment was nice. On the plus side for the Minox, the placement of the Minox zoom buttons was more comfortable for me than than the Olympus ones, and the Minox turned on and off markedly faster than the Olympus. Also, the Minox case was more practical. Both point and shoot cameras would be excellent options. Get the Minox if picture quality is paramount; get the Olympus if you want more features and better comfort in your hands.
Rating: Summary: Excellent! Review: I think it is great! It is the kind of camera I've always wanted. Very light, compact and easy to use. The images are perfect!! The zoom function is perfect and it is NOT noisy at all. I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks, www.Amazon.com for the good recommendation!
Rating: Summary: impact resistant Review: i went skiing recently with the camera around my neck, caught an edge and did a face plant, sliding on my chest down the ravine, into the bushes. When i finally crawled out, i checked my camera which was covered in snow, even though the cover was closed, but the pictures came out fine and the camera works great. a little condensation on the lenses.
