OK, as i have already discussed with ray, my wife has decided that she wants a digital camera for christmas, more then she wants a scanner. so, i have one question..
is it more important to get a camera with higher megapixal, or with a good optical zoom? i have been told to stay away from the digital zooms, and you can get better quality pics with the optical zoom. but one camera i am looking at only has 3.2 megapixal, and the other has a 4mp.. i have seen them as high as 5mp, but those are out of my price range. so, i guess here is what i am asking. what megapixal rating is considered to be 'good enough', and can i sacrifice a pixal rating, to get the better optical zoom.
the cameras i am looking at are a kodak, with 4mp, but only a 3x optical zoom for around $200.
the sony is only 3.2mp, but has a 10x optical zoom for $250.
which is the better choice? or does anyone have any other suggestions, or features i need to look for?
thanks.. bigjohn
