Digital camera reviews of Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 QD CG Date 35mm Camera

Digital camera Review: A Poor Showing By Olympus
Summary: 2 Stars

Disappointment is the best word to use in describing this camera. It has nice features with the zoom, self-timer, red-eye reduction, etc., but in the end cameras need to take good photographs and this one doesn't. I found the picture quality to be quite poor-- the colors are dull, not vibrant, especially when taking outdoor shots. The zoom lens also is a bit too much-- when you go to 140, the picture tends to blur. And I should add that the camera shutter speed is slow so you better have steady hands if you buy this one.

This camera was a major shock to me. I purchased an Olympus SR70 (I think that's the model) back in 1991 and I never had a problem with it. Plus it took fantastic shots. After 11 years, it still takes better pictures than the Stylus Zoom.

Summary of Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 QD CG Date 35mm Camera

One of the world's smallest, lightest 140mm zoom cameras, the Stylus Zoom 140 QD enhances photographic performance without sacrificing portability. The fully automatic operation includes quartz dating, autofocus, autoexposure, and auto loading and rewinding. The multi-autofocus system ensures focus accuracy even when your main subject isn't in the center of the frame. Its clamshell barrier design provides worry-free protection against the elements.

One of its best features is the variable-power flash for natural color tones. The red-eye reduction flash mode emits a series of pre-flashes right before the shutter snaps, allowing the subject's eyes to adjust to the light level of the flash, which reduces the red-eye effect. Night scene flash mode automatically lowers the shutter speed to ensure that both foreground and background are properly illuminated for night scenes. Fill-in flash mode softens the sharp contrasts for a more natural look in photos where your subject is in both bright light and dark shadow. Flash-off mode is available when flash photography is not permitted, or for special moody effects using available light.

Other features include macro close-ups from as near as 24 inches (wide-angle) and 35 inches (telephoto), and a self-timer. All this makes it easy to just relax and take the picture.
