A good camera among the 1.3 million pixel group (sufficient for most users) coupled with a 2.5 x optical zoom with high quality optics. Comparable products : the Olumpus C 920-Zoom, Agfal CL-50, and Epson PC-750 Zoom, and our bestseller Kodak DC 240. For a more powerful zoom, go to the Sony Mavica 88 with its 8x zoom. For more pixels, clearly go visit the remarkable new Kodak DC 280 . |
