[QUOTE="Jim Reeves, post: 670109, member: 59215"] I am not familiar with the camera, but did notice that it does not have Image Stabilization. That would be a consideration for me with a camera that has a large amount of optical zoom. Camera movement is magnified with optical magnification. IF your picture taking will be mostly from a tripod, then not so big of a deal. If mostly hand-held, then big deal. I researched P&S cameras with large optical zoom, and ended up with the Sony DSC-H5. 12x optical, 7.2mp, Image Stabilization, Zeiss lens, lots of manual control, no hot shoe, but adjustable intensity flash, 3" lcd, and Sony has a great 1.7x teleconverter with high-quality glass that increases zoom to 20x. Got a great deal on it too, as BestBuy mistakenly marked them down by $140 for a couple of days, then realized their mistake and increased the price $100. DSLR's are great, but much more expensive.
