Thanks for the counsel, gentlemen. I appreciate it very much.
I *thought* film was dead, but I don't know much about such things. We've very much enjoyed a couple of Canon digital elph cameras we've had, but they are hopelessly inadequate for the task; Wegiz has my situation ascertained. They mostly swim indoors. I think there is still a need for a point-and-shoot for parties, etc. but I figured I would need a big hurkin' lens for what I have in mind.
Digital camcorders seem to have pretty high zoom rates - does that help my task at all? I suspect the resolution would not be adequate, and there is still a part of me that wants the room for interpretation afforded by a still shot rather than the often ugly reality of a movie.
Thanks again for the leads on the research. I really appreciate your time.
