What's the zoom factor on that camera? I'm looking closely at getting a Panasonic Lumix with 12x optical and 4x digital zoom. I tried a cheap ($80) 6 megapixel from Wallyworld, but my old 2 megapixel takes clearer pictures.
It was returned, and I decided to spend the money to get a decent camera. My old one doesn't take closeup shots, and eats AA batteries entirely too quickly. After 6-8 pictures they're dead, and 3 new ones need to be installed to continue taking pictures.

Well, the new camera is on the way. It's an older model (DMC-FZ5), but not previously used. Considering it was only about half the price of the newer models, with the same essential features, it looked like a good deal. On the other hand, if it isn't what I want I can easily resell it w/out losing anything. I'll try it out and post some pics after I semi-figure out how it works... ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
