Amazingly I have a 9 year old Sony Mavica that uses floppy discs. I'm still back in the dark ages of digital.
I did have an occasion to use a Canon [I think is was RS something] a few weeks ago that had a zoom feature. If I were to buy one now that would be what I would look for. I think the megapixels are not as important??? There was a thread running about a week ago on this subject.
Thanks. I was looking at a Kodak at Christmas, never made up my mind, that had a 10X zoom, 5 meg. Seemed the best of both, but Kodak gets whacked by all the pros (or wanna be pros). Thus continued confusion.
