Effortlessly take photographs of sweeping mountain ranges and close-ups of flowers with Nikon's 140 35mm camera. Weighing only 7.9 ounces, the compact 140 gives you a wide range of shooting options with its 3.7x (38-140mm) zoom lens. The wide-area passive autofocus system lets you effortlessly take sharp photos without taking you out of the moment. The built-in, pop-up flash illuminates clearly with five modes of operation, and the red-eye reduction feature always comes in handy. The viewfinder has easy frame marks to help you center your image properly, and the diopter adjustment makes viewing easy for every user.
The panorama mode creates wide photos for that special creative touch, while the macro mode lets you get up-close photos as close as 2.4 feet. Film operation is fully automatic, including film loading, frame advance, rewind, and midroll rewind to make operations a snap. With the built-in quartz date function, you can print the time and date onto the pictures you take. Also, the 10-second self-timer is perfect for those group photos. The sliding cover prevents damage to the lens when you are not using it.
1 Fine until the zoom broke
My Nikon Lite Touch 140 was fine until the zoom broke shortly after the 1-year warranty expired. I take care of my camera, so it was not my fault. The $70 bill was disappointing. A little latter the cord snagged a corner and tore open a metal cover, so again I had it repaired at my expense.
2 I would never buy a nikon again
13 months after I purchased this camera, it froze up.
Would cost $147 to repair. The manuel suggest a new a battery,
which didnt do any good. Camera was never dropped or mis-
handled. When it was working it took great pictures. But 13
months!!!!
3 Good Camera
I bought this camera about two years ago whe it was first out .... However the cool design and quality photos have helped me not be upset with the purchase. I drove cross country and backpacked europe and never lost a picture do to the camera. I dropped it once from about four feet onto blacktop and no problems but a little nick and the sand from cannon beach has still not given me problems. This is a very good camera and i would recommend trying nikon out.
4 Piece of Junk
Had the camera for 6 months. Already has needed to be repaired twice. Repairs take over a month. Poor camera. Poor company.
5 What a disappointment
After owning an Olympus Stylus for 6 years, we decided to "upgrade" to the Nikon 140. Wow, were we surprised at the low quality. The camera ikons blinked inappropriately and the pictures came out worse than I ever imagined. The auto focus feature for up close photos looked like the people were hiding behind clouds.
We are now going to try the Minolta 160. They seem to have more features as well.
6 Happy but disappointed at the same time
I bought this Nikon 140ED as a graduation gift for my cousin. The camera is nice and light. Pictures come out nice and clear. It doesn't come with a camera bag, which is rather inconvenient, but that is trivial. Overall, I'm minutely satisfied with the camera. However, I do have a couple disappointments. It doesn't take multiple shots that well. We tried to take 2 or three pictures one after the other, and nothing happens. The camera refuses to take a second picture. We try waiting several seconds, but it is still unresponsive. Another feature of the camera that disappointed me is the flash. The distance of the flash is not as great as I expected it to be. ... For the NIKON name and quality, and that price, the camera usability and flash should exceed those of lesser brands and quality.
7 High Quality, Beautiful Design
I am so pleased with my purchase last month. The quality of the pictures is superb, sharp and clean, and what makes me most happy is that finally I have found a camera to eliminate the red eye problem! And everything in so elegant design.
8 Cross Comparison Nikon, Minolta, Olympus
My spouse has hinted over the past couple of months wanting a very simple to use camera. In my selection to evaluate, I have chosen Nikon 140, Minolta 150, Olympus 140 for comparison.
In my past life, I spent nearly $2000 on Olympus camera equipment to take personal photos. I sold everything several years later. While I was quite impressed with Olympus quality of product and the durability, it is a camera and needs to be treated as such.
My current assessment is narrowing in on the Nikon 140. The MSRP in this item is $239, and I have recently found this item for $204.00 which is $30-$50 less than Minolta or Olympus.
Nikon has put together a highly durable and simple to use camera, with high quality and definition lenses. I am especially confident that not only will my spouse beable to operate the camera effectively, but will be exceptionally pleased with her ability to take excellent photographs to treasure for years to come.
Now, if Amazon could only stand up to the price.... this would make it a better deal.
9 NO RED EYE
I have the Nikon Lite touch Zoom 120 ed AF and it is the best point and shoot I have had in many years. I have a new granddaughter with beautiful eyes and the red eye reduction (which has a solid light prior to flash) really works, not a red eye in any of the photos. It is light weight, very easy to use and the clarity and color of the photos is great. I can not tell you how happy I am with this camera.
10 great camera
great camera
makes amazing sharp photos
with x-tra 400asa fujifilm
11 just what was promised
small enough for a pocket, light weight, good close up capabilities. good clear shots with or without date on photo.
don't be fooled by the 'panorama' feature. it's not a panoramic camera. you don't get those long photos.. overall, just what we were looking for in a portable camera. if you're used to changable lenses on your 35 mm, this is a portable substitute for most of your needs.
12 Great little point and shoot
I haven't tried the camera yet myself, but I did some research on it and wanted to make a comment on the lens. Normally, I prefer point and shoots with lenses that don't exceed 3x, and preferably more like 2x, because with long telephoto range lenses there are just too many optical compromises that must be made, and that affects the sharpness of the lens. However, this lens contains 6 elements in 6 groups, and most importantly, uses plastic aspherical components, a recent innovation in these cameras that is sure to make a difference. The new Minolta Freedom Zoom 125 also has this. I had been considering buying the 120 ED, but depending on the quality of the lens, I may decide to purchase one of these instead. So far I have researched at least 3 dozen different point and shoot cameras, and this one and the 120 ED are in the top 5 out of all the ones I've researched, and I've been pretty thorough in comparing features and performance. One thing I like about the 120, and I'm sure the 140 has it too, is the Panorama mode, which I've enjoyed using in my Fuji Tiara APS camera. Overall, this looks to be a great little camera to take with you anywhere from Nikon, and (along with the 120 ED), is their first important offering in this category.
