Is that a good deal, or what?

Most other cameras i've seen for that price have only 4-5x optical zoom.

3x is enough for taking regular pics unless you going like photographer style or somethhing or spying on someone lol.

Well im actually wanting it to take to a football game.

Would 3x be alright? (im gunna be sitting near the back)

kof2000 · 07-14-2005, 12:57 PM

that far you'll need more than 3x.

The Camedia C-765 from Olympus (10x / 4.2MP) can be found at ~$200 us here in Europe.

if u buy a SLR camara u can change the lens and buy new ones, or use the ones you had for 35mm camaras

very true, of course, SLR's are gonna be a bit more pricey, but you would get much much better quality pictures. You could get the Cannon Rebel for about 700 with a lens.
