Minolta Freedom Zoom 140 EX Camera Test

You point and then you shoot. Some are inexpensive. Some are very expensive.

Minolta Freedom Zoom 140 EX Camera Test

Post by PFMcFarland »

A Point & Shoot film camera with Auto Focus, multiple Scene Modes, and a 38-140mm zoom lens, it handles very well with a good performance.

And it gets the autofocus right, which is not that common in plastic point-and-shoots (at least that is my experience).

All right. You made me dig one out and put some batteries and film in it.


If we all saw the world the same no one would need a camera.

Oh, it had it's fair share of misses, Julio. Mostly because of my handling. It's funny though, I took two shots of the "Launch Platform" to be sure to get one good shot, and it was second one that focused on the background. Just the opposite was true of the "Pollen Wasp". I must have tripped the shutter too soon on the first shot, "Serious Bokeh".

At least it doesn't take something exotic, like a 2CR5, Larry.
