I've been considering buying a new camera for a while, and after seeing the quality of the detail in the photos of my more recent, canvas based works the idle thought got put in my "must have" basket. The photos aren't horrific, but I can't make prints from them, not without my inner perfectionist having an aneurysm followed by a mid life crisis/

18x optical zoom! Hot!

What is a card reader?

I am envious! Can't wait to see what kind of things you can produce :)

I know right! and it doesn't suffer much at that level of zoom either :D

uhmm, one of those doodads you stick the memory card in so your computer and such can get stuff off it. I have one built in to my computer. I didn't get any of those extras, the postage was $45.

It's a huge upgrade from my trusty little DX6490 (4mp, 10x optical zoom). I hope it lasts as long!

Won't need to move with an 18x zoom :) I just saw one I like on this site but a new camera will have to wait until Christmas I think :) Spent too much on myself lately already!

I have a 7.1MP x 6x Optical and I feel the limits of it, but mostly I dislike the colours it produces. It's a Canon and I probably won't go there again - apart from the fact that it's built pretty tough and I've dropped it and done all sorts of things and it's always come back to life :) My next purchase will be the lightest but highest optical zoom I can find. I like to put them in my handbag but my last one was a bit too heavy for that to be an everyday thing.

Re: extras I agree you don't need things like bags and stuff you already have.

I used my stimulus money to get the camera. No way I would have bought it before xmas without it.

I've heard that canon are lagging behind in the digital camera market.

Heh, I'm kind of rough on my stuff too. This little kodak has knocked around in my backpack, been dropped, rained on, everything! Still works like a trooper.
