The Olympus Infinity Stylus Zoom 140 Deluxe is a weatherproof, premium quality zoom point-and-shoot from the late 1990s. Here's the original product description:

Looking for a camera in Olympus’ gang of strikingly street smart cameras? Something in the tradition of the sleek, ultra compact, rugged design characteristic of Olympus? How does the new top-of-the-line Infinity Stylus Zoom 140 sound? Let’s take a look.
Even with an impressive 38-140mm zooming range, the rugged Stylus Zoom 140 is small and convenient ... and weatherproof. The aspherical glass lens elements are paramount to this unique, lightweight lens system that delivers incredible resolution. The glass elements are key to the compact design. Reflecting these comprehensive refinements, the Stylus Zoom 140 measures only 4.7”x 2.6” x l.8”.
