Digital camera reviews of Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 QD CG Date 35mm Camera
Digital camera Review: Survives river voyage
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera is amazing! Not only does it take great photos using any type of film but it is extremely durable. A professional photographer highly recommended this camera which I purchased prior to my once-in-a-lifetime African Adventure. The night of our Zambezi river cruise, my tote bag fell overboard and drifted 200 yards before kindly fishermen saved it. Luckily, this camera was in my zippered compartment so it didn't sink to the bottom like my binoculars. I thought the camera was wasted because the entire body was flooded with river water and the lens was fogged. After opening up the film and battery compartments and letting them air dry in the hot sun, the camera works perfectly. The view lens has bubbled so it's a little difficult to see the subject but the photos are beautiful. This made me a loyal Olympus customer.Digital camera Review: This camera is VERY easy to use!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera about a month ago, and I'm delighted with the pictures it takes. It's very easy to use, and had several features that other cameras in the same price range didn't offer. For the money, I think it's the best camera that you can buy.Digital camera Review: Too bad it didn't last!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this camera about 2 1/2 years ago. I was very satisfied with the picture quality under a variety of conditions. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago it quit focusing. As it turns out for this type of camera all photo repair shops send the unit in to Olympus to have it repaired. If you want you can send it to Olympus directly yourself. The problem is that regardless of the problem, the repair is a flat rate ... which is rapidly approaching the cost of just buying a replacement camera. Disappointing...Digital camera Review: Unreliable
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought my Olympus in August 1999. A year and 8 days later, the slide cover jammed rendering the camera unusable. My camera shop sent the camera back to Olympus for repair and it was fixed for $120. Olympus noted that the one year warranty was barely expired but made no accomodation. One year later, in August 2001, my camera jammed again in the same way. I returned to the camera shop and explained my predicament and displeasure and they sent the camera to Olympus who responded with an estimate for $112. Who needs a camera that costs $100 plus every year beyond the initial cost. Not to mention being caught on vacation without a camera.Beyond the repair issue, I found the picture quality to be mediocre; worse than the Nikon that was my previous camera or the Olympus's that I owned before that.
Digital camera Review: VERY SHARP PICs
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to use. Much better pics than our 1995 Pentax IQ120. We've put through 1 roll and are very satisfied. It is showing subject eye clarity that our old camera did not. Really is a decent camera and the price is reasonable... considering the market relatives.
