I'm going to be getting this camera sometime with in the next couple of weeks. It has a 9.7-48.5mm f/2-2.4 lens with 5x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Lens.
Just wondering, Do any of you guys use it or have any feedback?

You mean you'll will actually have pictures to show us? No lost film? You will have no excuses now, I'm not sure if its a good idea for you to get it. Think about it.

Does look like a nice camera though, hope you can get it.

If it was me, I would get this one instead. It is a few more $$ but it is a very nice camera. It is the little brother to the one that Saskman uses to get his great pictures.

LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-03 AT 09:53AM (MST)[p]Nasty I have pictures bud

Im just looking to get some better quality ones. I am going to go out this winter / spring / summer and get some photographs from bucks up north / bulls and make posters of them. The archery shop that I am helping out needs some new scenery.

Thanks a lot drop I'll think about that.

Money is not an option for me as of right now. Im just looking for the best camera I can buy.

You guys got more $ to spend than I do!!!! I guess thats what happens when you've got 3 kids... Sweet looking cameras though! Tim

There is no need for a camera that has 5 or 6 megapixel unless you are using them for professional pictures or you want them real big. Save a lot of money and get a 2 or 3 megapixal camera with more optical zoom. I woulden't want to bring a $1500 camera hunting or fishing. I spent $400 on mine and it takes real good pictures.

You can have a $10,000 camera but if you don't know how to take pictures right it's worthless. So buy a cheeper camera and spend some money on photography classes.

Glomdawg,
I sure wish I could afford those cameras too. I can dream though. I also have 3 kids and I got a Olympus 2100 last year and it is doing just fine for pics to view on the computer. If I were going to look in that price range again I would go with the Olympus 740 or 750.
