Amazon.com Product Description

The Minox CD 140 enhances the creativity of every photo amateur with brilliant photo quality. Maximum zoom range and minimal dimensions are characteristic for this new autofocus compact camera from the legendary German camera manufacturer Minox. Due to its generous focal distance of 38-140mm, the Minoctar lens with 4x zoom offers more freedom of creativity. The intricate lens system, with a total of 10 lenses arranged in 7 groups, guarantees excellent contrast and extremely high resolving power. The fully automatic CD 140 with its active infrared autofocus distinguishes itself through super-sharp photographs. A preflash combats the red-eye effect. The flash can be switched on and off manually and therefore offers more freedom for creative compositions. For photographing family, friends, or landscapes, it is the ideal camera for every occasion.

This is the one!.......2002-07-22

I have owned this camera for over a year now and it has performed superbly. I bought it for it's "point and shoot" simplicity and I "got it all". The pictures are always in focus and exposure level never misses. This camera has to be one of the best engineered and executed products I have ever held in my hands. The pure quality built into this camera makes me wonder if Minox is making a profit. (I would have paid a lot more for it, knowing what I do now.) If I ever drop it in the ocean accidently and lose it, I will buy another without hesitation.

It is the quietest camera I have ever used. It is built like a brick and weighs like a feather. What can I say? The fit and finish are perfect. The optics are superb. I have used, abused, dropped, banged, and neglected this camera and have been rewarded with flawless operation through it all.

If you want a true "point and shoot" camera and still have crisp, razor sharp photos that rival any SLR's, then buy this one. I have NEVER regretted buying it and I have been through many other cameras.

BANG FOR THE BUCK.......2002-07-04

Originally, I wanted a Yashica T4 after reading stellar reviews on the Net. Unfortunately, they no longer make this camera. My search continued and I came across the Minox CD 140. Got my first roll of film back (Agfa Vista 200) and can only say that the pictures are breathtaking! Razor sharp, clear, vivid and brilliant. The camera is easy to operate and has great features without overkill. Fits nice in the hands and has a nice "solid feel" to it. Comes with strap and case in which the camera fits snug. As for the supposed "small viewfinder", I didn't think it any smaller than my other two cameras I own. Get this camera. Unbelievable pictures, easy to use, nice features, great value. A "Leica" at a fraction of the cost. I am totally satisfied.

Good Pictures but problem with white curved lines.......2001-07-02

I bought the Minox Cd 140 strictly on the reviews from this site which is usually a good predictor of the products quality and value. After I received the camera I was pleased with how it operated and looked except that it has a step zoom instead of continuous zoom like someone said in a previous review. I think there is about 5 steps. I took my first roll of pictures and was pleased with the quality except there was these curved white lines in the upper left corner of almost all of my pictures. I wasn't sure if it was the developer or the camera so I took another roll and the white lines were in that roll also (which was in the negatives also). I had to come to a conclusion that it was a mechanical problem so I had to send it back. I probably would of kept this camera if the lines weren't in the pictures. I guess I got the bad one in the batch. I have to give it a 3 based on my experience but otherwise it is a good camera. I don't think this is a prevalent problem or I would have heard about it somewhere.

Couldn't be happier.......2001-06-07

I have found the ideal point and shoot camera - the Minox CD 140. I read a review on this camera and did some research on it and decided that I would take a leap of faith and bought it. I was so pleased when I got my pictures back and saw how amazingly sharp, beautiful and precise they were. The coloring was excellent, the detail magnificent. For a point and shoot camera, my photos all look professional. I bought it through Amazon.com, after a lot of complications with smilephoto.com(I'll never attempt to do business with them again). This camera is marvelous. I highly recommend it to anyone. I only ranked it at a four, for one minor reason, the viewfinder is small and takes some adjusting to.Other than that it is perfect!

Excellent quality images, poor on ergodynamics.......2001-04-23

I own a Nikon N6006 SLR and set out to buy a point-and-shoot for convenience. I bought both a Minox CD 140 and an Olympus Stylus Zoom 140 QD. I shot a roll of film with all three at once, then blinded sorted the the match sets of three pictures of each image based on which were best. My findings:

1. The Nikon SLR was not consistently the best. In fact, the difference between the pictures from the SLR and the two point and shoots was remarkably smaller than I expected.

2. The Minox had somewhat better color, focusing, and contrast than did the Olympus. The difference, however, was slight.

3. The Olmpus was better designed than the Minox. The Olympus fit better in the hand, the clamshell cover gave more protection, it had a greater zoom range, the viewfinder was slightly larger and set back from the camera body (so your nose doesn't bump the camera as much), and the diopter adjustment was nice. On the plus side for the Minox, the placement of the Minox zoom buttons was more comfortable for me than than the Olympus ones, and the Minox turned on and off markedly faster than the Olympus. Also, the Minox case was more practical.

Customer Reviews:

back from vacation.......2002-10-05

The Minox CD-140 date camera is simple to use , the small viewfinder takes some getting use-to. the controls are simple to understand and easy to use. The quality of photos taken on vacation with this camera are excellent, colors are true and images are crisp and clear ( but no better than my 8 year old Nikon LiteTouch AF ). Not sure if it was worth the extra cost when looking at other similar cameras. Have to see how this camera holds up over the next 10 years, hope its better than my pentax...

Awesome Camera.......2002-08-24

This is the best Camera I have ever owned. I scrapbook and I am so happy with the Quality and colors of my photo's. Definetly Reccomend.

The MINISCULE VIEWFINDER is a TREMENDOUS Problem.......2001-10-23

Believe me, and believe any other review that criticizes the tiny viewfinder on this camera. It may have top-quality optics and an abundance of admirable features, but you're likely to miss most photo opportunities (especially in twilight and darkness) as you struggle to place the viewfinder over your eye.

Most of the photos we obtained with this Minox captured the moment after a great picture COULD HAVE been taken, and even then were generally off-center. I thought I would become acclimated, but frustration got the better of me and the camera was returned for refund.

This camera has flaws.......2001-08-22

The viewfinder is VERY small. The viewfinder is also located too near to the center of the camera, so I kept bumping my nose into it when I take pictures. Also, the camera failed to rewind the film automatically, so I had to manually take out the roll, which ruined all my pictures, all the precious shots I took. I had to return the camera.

Perfect point-and-shoot camera!!.......2001-04-17

The Minox CD 140 is probably in the top 5 of all point-and-shoot cameras with a long zoom.

It's easy for a complete beginner to use, but has light controls for the more advanced photographer (macro, panorama, flash cancel, etc.). There is no manual aperture setting or other controls like this, but do you really want/need that in a point and shoot camera?

I own the date back version of this casera and am very happy with its overall performance. I *really* wanted to get a Leica C1, but am glad I did not - no point. The Leica versions at this end of the point and shoots are overpriced for the same or lower quality as this Minox with its Minoctar lens. Sharp and crisp photos.

Another very important part of this camera that peopel overlook is that it is NOT a step zoom. This means that the zoom does not move in preset settings. E.g., on the Leica C1 you can only zoom to 38, 50, 75, 90, etc. With this Minox you can zoom to ANY distance between 38 and 140.

The camera also ha an excellent "feel" to it. Some point and shoot cameras feel so cheap (plastic doodads) and others are so "slick" that they feel tinny. Not this one. It is made of high quality material and there is a part made of grip rubber that helps you get a great grip on the camera (visible on left side of the camera picture - looks like a black half-moon).

The other features: Active infrared autofocus, Maximum zoom range, Automatic flash, Preflash for red-eye reduction, Quality lens, etc. are all excellent.

There is ONLY one weakness I can think of: Small viewfinder (to look at what you are shooting). This takes a little getting used to, but is simple enough. This is the ONLY drawback.

I also own a higher-end Nikon SLR and Minolta SLR, but this is my back-up point and shoot "fun" camera. I *strongly* recommend this camera. I did a LOT fo research on point and shoots before buying this one. Again, I am very glad I bought this one. You will be too.

REALLY BAD!.......2002-05-17

I got this mp3 player about a year ago. It was good at the time, but you could fit barely 3 songs on a disk. Now I have Windows xp and it is useless becaus efor some stupid reason they decided not to make drivers for xp. So now it is useless and i can't use it. I would definately not suggest buying this, go for a better one that you can actually use.

I am returning this piece of JUNK!..........2002-02-01

I bought 2 IJAM 100 MP3 players at a boxing day sale (12/2001), spent 15 hours TRYING to get them to work, and they are flaky, half baked products. DO NOT BUY!!! Why?
IJ-100 CRASHES if you have ID3 tags on your MP3s
IJ-100 CRASHES if you look at it the wrong way
IJ-100 CRASHES if you strip ID 3 tags, test individual files, and then load more than 3 file on the MMC card.
IJ-100 CRASHES if you use WINDOWS EXPLORER to transfer the files to the MMC instead of MusicMatch
IJ-100 Documentation/manuals [are bad].
IJ-100 DISTORTS HORRIBLY (Clicks, grunge, AM, etc) if the MP3 files are loud (higher volume during encoding)
IF you actually get it to work for a track, the audio quality is MEDIOCRE.
FM in unit is useless, very noisy, incapable of holding a station with any quality audio maintained

...DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I-Jam not be jammin'.......2001-10-22

I-Jam started off to be a pretty cool little MP-3 player when I bought it a year ago. Last year I was thinking that MMC was going to take off and everyone would have 256mb MMC cards for $50 by now. Well, guess what!??! MMC didn't take off. You are lucky if you can find a 64mb MMC at a reasonable price. But oh wait - there's more. It seems with all the popular media formats (MP3, WMA, etc), the I-Jam isn't so flexible about reading. Now I can't even get three songs to play consistently on this beautiful red player. So now I am shopping for another mp3 player. On the bright side, it is small and the FM tuner works awesome! Three presets isn't enough, but still good enough to make it useful as something more than a small anchor for my aquarium.

Great little Machine.......2000-10-06

There is simply no competiton for the IJ100. For the price the quality can't be beat. Although there are better players out there, none can be bought this cheap. The only downside is the low memory capacities, and the high cost of bigger memory cards. The sound is as good as a CD. The radio also sounds good. In the end, this player is well worth the money.

ps...this is matt's girlfriend and i was 15 when he wrote this. WOW he is a flaming homo and we are breaking up right now

For this price...how could I say "no"!.......2000-09-30

Think about it... It would cost that much for a pager-sized walkman, let alone an MP3 player. An obvious drawback is the 2x16MB memory cards, but at 96 (rather than 128kps) not a lot of audio is compromised, while gaining space for another song on each card (bringing the total available playlist to around 10).

Not bad...10 songs...I would suggest a small case for the card that is not in the player (should you decide to bring it along...a good place to store it is behind the player in the case which comes with the i-jam hardware) software is easy to use and install...the Jam Station hardware allows you to keep your printer hooked up (thus avoiding the painstaking process of switching parallel interfaces each time you want to transfer files.)

another plus is the audio output, which is unheard of for most MP3 players, and certainly a bonus for a player of this size and cost. Adjustable treble and bass is also a welcomed extra, and should improve your listening experience. Wear it to exercise, wear it on the bus, use it whenever you need some customized music. and if you get bored of the 10 songs (almost a full CD's worth) just turn on the radio and keep "jammin"

enjoy this great little product...
