They are some great pics !!! I have a new Olympus C-7000 and I think I will be selling it. I need a strictly P&S camera. Anyone looking for a great camera, let me know. Has 7.1 MP and 5X Optical zoom.

Those are some awesome quality pics.

Rick,

I ended up with the Fujifilm Finepix S3100. It was a toss up between it, a Minolta model and those Olympus models that you folks have. I wanted a higher magnification than that standard 3X found on most of the digital cameras and yet I also wanted a decent number of megapixels. The S3100 has a 6x optical zoom with another 3.3 digital zoom. However, I can get a telephoto converter kit to increase that by 1.4x IIRC. It is a 4 megapixel model with the rest of the usual "goodies". So far I am fairly happy with it. It is going to be serving double duty as the "family camera" as well as possibly something for digiscoping pictures.

Great looking camera Frank and a lot of pixels. Does it have a viewfinder? Thats one of the features I really like on the Olympus, it has a viewfinder and the screen on the back also.

Rick,

Yes it does. That little bit of black sticking out behind the flash in the picture is the top edge of it. That was something else that surprised me, the newer digital cameras all have digital viewfinders. My previous one, a Kodak 1.3 megapixel model, only had the clear plastic/glass design. A big improvement in my opinion.

PAB, We just bought that same cam, what is the telephoto converter. Is that for mounting a spotting scope?

My wife and I just bought a Olympus C-770 UltraZoom with a 512 meg card. It has the 10x optical and a 4x digital for a total of 40x. It can take movies and is awesome. I'll try to crop down some of the pictures of deer and turkey I've taken this month and see if I can post them. You can actually count the eyelashes. (WOW!) I've included a link to where I got mine and some of the best prices around.
