Yes, but yours is only a 5 megapixel, and I have a 4.1 now (not that different.) I want something in the 6-7 range. 8 is more than I'll ever need.

The only other one I've found with a great zoom AND image stabilization is an 8 megapixel Nikon for $999...the Olympus is only $379.

My other option would be to go with a digital SLR, but I really don't want something that involved. I want an easy camera so I can concentrate on what/who I'm shooting instead of the mechanics. (I am not good at multitasking.)

I remember the old days when I had a full 35mm rig with interchangeable lenses, filters, etc. Spent WAY more time fiddling with the equipment than shooting. I chunked all of that and went to fully automatic point & shoot digital cameras and haven't looked back. Occasionally I will use a fill-in flash, but that's about it. And my photos have never looked better.

As said, it all depends.

I would never like to miss my lenses: 17-35mm F2.8-4.0 for indoors, 24-70mm F2.8 as standard and a 70-200mm F2.8 as tele. [Which even gives a 400mm F4.0 with the tele-converter :wink: ] Changing just takes seconds. :wink:

You sound like my husband, Walter! What is it with you guys...you're such gadget lovers! As for me, the simpler the better.

That's why I want you to look at the Olympus E300 almost like a pointnshot but has 2 lens
at you can get it from newegg for about 740

Okay, I'll take another look at it....mumblemumble....

While Eva is looking, I am preparing my christmas cards
with this picture up front....

CJ, have you been using vitamin E lotion? You look much younger there.

any photos of women out of their kimonos??

As far as I have noticed, SLR cameras have an "auto" mode as well as being able to be operated manually.

Scherzkeks. That's my precious little daughter who will never meet
the Slappy Doo Hoos of this world.

LOL

Okay husker, I took another look at the Olympus E-300, and it just confirmed for me that I don't want an SLR.

I have found a bunch more ultra zooms with image stabilization, though. Several are brand new. Only two worth looking at in the 6-8 megapixel range, but about four good ones at 5 megapixel (and yes, one of them is yours, Reyn.)

Say Reyn...could you give me a link to the thread where you were discussing all of this before you bought yours? I can't remember where it was.

I am excited by the news that Jane will soon be Slappy's mother-in-law.

What? What did I say?

Another Russian?

gustav, I order you to watch two solid weeks of Fox News
now. That will teach you to abstain from the red brothers.

I just happened to have had that Russian left over from my Noddy search.

I didn't want to see him go to waste.

Yeah, that's what they all say. I'll be watching you!

:MacArthur:

I'm still happy with mine!


If I knew there was going to be a test, I would have studied! I can't even remember yesterday.

It was probably in my "Chat" thread, but good luck finding the page.

If you want more background on the Canon S2 IS, here's a link below....or have I already given this to you?
