Good Camera, but uses APS Film and reliabiliity in Question2006-03-12
Overall, if you want an APS camera, this one would be good. However, APS film is more expensive to buy and more expensive to develope (slightly), so I would look into a compact 35MM camera also. My camera performed well, but after a few years, the film slot won't open (jambed or something) , so I have abandoned it with a full role of film in it. Not worth fixing it.
Highly Reccomnded2003-08-01
This is and excellent camera. I highly recommend it for people you like to take pictures. You get sharp clear pictures
Poor Reliability2002-11-10
I bought this camera 2 years ago because of its compact size, APS features and the Olympus reputation. It does take good photos, and has almost every auto feature one could ask for. However my camera has experienced very poor reliablity and excessive use of batteries, compared to other autofocus cameras I have owned (Canon Elph, Pentax IQZoom, Canon Telemax). Without much hard handling or outdoor use, it has been serviced twice (defective lens cover/on-off switch, and shutter button failed). The red-eye feature results in excessive flash lamp discharge, and makes it hard to pose subjects, and uses batteries faster. Olympus factory service for each non-warranty incident is $$. Needeless to say, I didn't have it repaired the second time.
Fatal Recurring Electrical Problems2002-06-07
I bought this camera in June 2000. Since then, over 2 years it has been returned for repairs 4 times! Each time the problems have been associated with the electrical system. The electrical system drains the batteries and eventually shuts down all of the functions of the camera. Perhaps mine is a dud. I have had 3 other point and shoot Olympus cameras, all were great until now. This one is a lemon. Besides that, I do not believe the APS system is particularly advantageous and would not purchase it again.
The Olympus uzoom 140 take much better photographs.2001-05-04
I bought this camera on the strength of the recommendation from the shop owner. Its very compact, weather proof and easy to use. However I am not altogether happy with it for the following reasons. (a) I don't beleive that APS is as good a film format as 35mm, (b) the buttons are not very ergonomic, (c) it can be difficult to keep the subject your are shooting in view when you depress the button due to the cameras small size. I would definately only buy this if you have small hands.

The types of camcorders

The formats of video cameras include, VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8, Mini Digital Video (Mini DV), DVD and Digital 8. Each format has its pros and cons VHS The VHS format is the oldest type of camcorder. This type of video camcorder is fast becoming outdated, because you can only play back the video on a VHS VCR system. VHS camcorders are not nearly as clear as digital video camcorders that offer clear video with 540 lines of resolution, VHS video cameras only offer 240 lines of resolution. They also weigh more and are much more bulky, that dv camcorders. You can only find these video camera used because their technology is now outdated. VHS-C The VHS-C format offer 240 lines of resolution, just like VHS. These analog camcorders come in a smaller size that the VHS camcorder models, but use the same technology. The video tapes u ...
Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
