Need a New Digital Camera

[chambero]

I need a new small digital camera. Planning on 4 or 5 megapixels. I've used Canon digital elphs in the past, but am interested in what everyone else is using to see if there is anything better.

I bought an Olympus C-770 earlier this year and am very happy with it. It's 4 megapixel, and has a 10X optical zoom (35mm equivalent of a 380mm lens, at the telephoto end). Tons of features, but still small enough to carry everywhere. Uses xD cards, which are tiny. My only complaint is that the battery life isn't that great, so you'll want to pick up one or two spares if you go with this camera. There's a great website that allows you to compare the features of various digital cameras side by side, but I can't recall the address right now. Send me an e-mail or a PM and I'll check for it when I get home tonight.

I have the panasonic fz 10. I love it. 4 mega pixel, 12x optical zoom. The best part is the f2.8 leica lens.

Good luck

Hope it's useful.

I have the new canon rebel EOS, love it, but a little spendy
6.3 mp, interchangeable lenses, the whole works....let us know what you decide on, mark

Olympus c-750 or Panasonic FZ-10 or Canon S1 IS.

Try the new Panasonic FZ-20 or FZ3 as well.

FZ3 is hard to beat for a carry around wildlife camera.
