Product Description

The IQZoom 140M is about as compact as a 35mm camera can be - it's not much taller than the film roll itself. Despite its remarkably small size, it offers a powerful 38mm-140mm zoom that makes your pictures bigger, closer and more detailed.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Pentax IQ Zoom 140M QD 35mm camera is incredibly compact--at a height of 2.6 inches it's just a little taller than a roll of 35mm film. Yet it has a powerful 38-140mm zoom that makes your pictures bigger, closer, and more detailed than most compacts in its class. The "actual image" viewfinder lets you see the image size in relation to the zoom ratio, providing a concise preview of the finished photo no matter which of the two available print formats--standard and panorama--you use. Switch back and forth between the two formats as often as you like to capture close-ups or the whole landscape.

In spot AF mode, you can keep your subject in focus even when it's in the background and/or other subjects are in the foreground. The six-segment multipattern metering provides flawless exposure for any lighting condition. The built-in, fully automatic flash has five modes to illuminate your subject perfectly: flash on, flash off, slow shutter sync, bulb sync with or without flash for special effects, and bulb (night mode), for great pictures in any lighting condition. Red-eye reduction is also included.

This camera has several features that allow you to shoot worry-free pictures. The fail-safe film loading function loads and advances your film automatically. The high-precision, passive five-point autofocus system ensures sharp pictures, even when shooting through windows. When left unused for three minutes with the power on, the camera retracts the lens to the wide-angle position to protect it from damage, and then shuts itself off completely. The LCD panel gives you easy-to-see readings on frame counter, zoom, flash modes, self-timer, remote control, shooting modes, date/time stamp, and battery level, so you always know what your camera settings and levels are.

Customer Reviews

Great camera, exceptional features,excellent photo quality
I've had this camera for a couple of years now and it has been a really great purchase. The picture quality is extraordinary. I often have people asking me what kind of camera I have because my pictures are so great. (i'd like to think it's my skill at picture taking but it really is the camera) I would highly recommend getting the optional remote, it has come in very handy when taking skyline pictures and other night pictures that require the camera to be very still. I've even used this camera to take some wedding pictures for some friends of mine. A lot of my pictures came out better than the professional camera !!! The price may seem somewhat high for those looking for a simple camera, however I found the quality to be well worth the price.

Great camera
This is a great camera. I've taken lots and lots of pictures with it-like over 2000. It really comes up with some fantastic shots. I like the lightweight. It's got a great long distance zoom lens that's fast. Indeed, it shoots like an expensive 35mm. The only drawback is it's macro ability. It does shoot up to about 2.6 feet which is pretty close, and for most shots this is enough. Really, in the majority of situations, it comes up with some wonderful shots that are very clear and great!

Great Camera Value for Money
If u are looking for a Medium range Camera Go for This Camera. It has a Good Panaromic Mode for Photographing Skylines and Wide angles. The Controls Are Cool. A Bit Bulky But u can accept it for the way it shoots Pictures. Picture Quality is Crystal Clear. I have shot with this camera the Niagara Falls and It came Great. I strongly recommend this Camera if u are looking for more features at a reasonable price.
