Thanks for your input. I haven't bought a camera yet. I looked at some
more cameras today but they didn't have a couple I wanted to look at.
However, looking at the cameras made me realize that some of them come in
sizes that are just completely unacceptable to me.

I fell in love with an Olympus C7000 and now I'll have to go look up a
review on it. I have a feeling that it is so small that it won't rate very
well. I really wanted more than 5x optical zoom, but we'll see. I still
want to physically see a Canon Pro 1 and Panasonic FZ20. The nice thing
about already having a camera is not having to be in any hurry to buy one.
I have friends that have Olympus cameras that take fantastic pictures.

I realize I'm a little behind times here, but I couldn't imagine life
without
my Olympus C-3040Z (3.3MP). It's been my constant companion for the past
three
years and I've shot literally tens of thousands of photos with it.

If I had to do it over again tomorrow, I'd still buy it. It goes
everywhere
with me and I've shot just about anything and everything that moves or
doesn't.


The only things I would change if I could is the optical zoom and the
macro
focus. The zoom is 3x and the macro can't handle anything closer than 8
inches.

Good luck and happy hunting!
