Default Thanks, (read me.)

where'd you get it? how much, what video card upgrade and what would you recommend to me now that you have it that you wish you knew before you got it?

Thanks! I do appreciate it!

Default Got it from Wolf Camera in Denver.....

It's been a few months but I think I paid $449? Sound right? I also got the upgraded video card, lets you store approx 120 pics, I would get that one at least. Only other thing I have for it is a waterproof cover, Im out on lakes all the time so its a necessity. Easiest camera in the world to use, love the quality and didnt have to sell a nut to buy the thing.

Default I have also been looking and came up with the following:

I want better than a 3x optical zoom, and at least 2.1 MP to print out nice 5x7's. I came up with the following models that fit good.

1. Olympus C700zoom - 10x optical zoom; 2.1MP; Olympus makes good lenses and good equipment.

2. Fujifilm finepix 2800zoom - 6x optical zoom; 2MP;Well under $500

3. Casio QV-2900ux - 8x optical zoom; 2.1 MP; Microdrive capable (uses compact flash also)

All these camera's are around or under $500. Hope this helps a little.
