lynx6200

Hey all. Ive been doing a bit of research on the cameras, but still havent found one that appeals to me. I was wondering if you all could give me some recomendations. Im looking for a camera with a good optical zoom, prefrably 8x or more, with roughly 4 megapixeles+, but is also fairly light and compact, no SLR's. Im trying to stay in the price range of 400 or less and have picked out a few in that range, such as olympus's 10x zoom, cannon, and nikon. But olympus is the only compact camera of the few but lacks in megapixels with only 3. My other option is a camera that accepts external lense, as I know there are some that you can do that with, besides SLR, but dont actualy know of any. Any recommendations would be greatly aprreciated, thanks.
