started out with a Olympus cameda L-1400
<br>3x OPTICAL zoom 1.4 mill. pix.
<br>
<br>Recently got a Minolta Dimage 7 7xOPTICAL zoom
<br>5.2 mill. pixels
<br>
<br>i point out the optical zoom because the DIGITAL zoom on cameras realy just throwes out some of your Reseloution (Photo) to make it appear larger, at the cost of detail.
<br>
<br>Biggest porblem with both cameras was that low light confusese them in auto focus/exposure mode.
<br>Thats why i sprang for the minolta, i can adjust every thing myself or let the camera do it.
<br>
<br>now, am I smart enough to post a photo here....
