5.0 out of 5 stars Happy customer from CA, December 8, 1999

I recently read about the Evoca 140 in Popular Photo. This camera recently won the 1999 European Compact Camera of the Year Award.

I have been shooting pictures for about a month. It is the best camera I ever picked up in my hands. Every thing it said in the article was true. The 140mm lens bring you 4x closer to the subject. The camera also has a Scheinder Kreuznach lens, (High End German Optics) that are not found in any other camera like it.

It would recommend this camera to both first time buyers as well as advance photographers

5.0 out of 5 stars My SLR is jealous, May 9, 2000

This review is from: Samsung Evoca 140S QD Zoom Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)

Since getting this little gem I haven't touched my SLR. I take the EVOCA 140s with me everywhere. It is so lightweight and portable there is no reason to leave it at home. While I do miss some of the manual functions of my SLR, I don't miss the hassle of toting its bulk. With the EVOCA 140s I no longer have to sacrifice quality for convenience. The lens is the thing. The EVOCA 140s is equipped with a Schneider Kreuznach lens. The high end optics provide stunning results. You get clear, sharp images at every focal length (38 - 140 mm). There is an automatic macro setting when a subject is within 1m. The multitude of flash options and camera functions makes the EVOCA 140s one of the most versatile point and shoots on the market. I have taken pictures in all types of lighting conditions and have yet to stump the camera. The clear, concise manual (written in Spanish and English) has all of the information you need and is full of suggestions to help you get the best results from your camera. I used to carry the manual with me as a quick reference. After experimenting with a few rolls, the camera functions became intuitive. I find it increasingly difficult to take a bad picture. A remote control for the EVOCA 140s is sold separately. Operating instructions for the remote as well as a toll free order number can be found in the manual. The remote is a fun little gadget, but really isn't necessary given all of the camera's self timing functions. There are a couple of minor drawbacks to the EVOCA 140s. A very flimsy, plastic shutter covers the lens. Such a valuable lens deserves better protection. The battery life is short. Even though it is impossible to accidentally leave the camera on (it closes down if no action has taken place within a 30 second interval) the power is drained after only 15 or 20 rolls. Minor flaws aside; versatility, convenience and quality make the EVOCA 140s an excellent photographic tool for the amateur and professional alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Pictures, September 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Samsung Evoca 140S QD Zoom Date 35mm Camera (Electronics)

We thought our old Nikon 35mm took sharp pictures, but this Samsung is amazing, the "HDTV" of film photography! We had been soured on zoom cameras when we purchased the #1 consumer reports zoom (a Yashica) a couple of years ago and could never get consistently sharp pictures. As another reviewer indicated, the autofocus on this camera seems to never miss -- consistently sharp pictures from 38 to 140mm. In fact, the pictures are almost too sharp -- the gray hairs show up and my wife has said she will start having to wear makeup. An added plus -- Samsung provides excellent customer service. Very satisfied with this purchase.
