what kind of camera?

I'm thinking about selling my Olympus C-2100UZ and picking up something smaller, but I haven't found any little cameras with the same level of picture quality (even when I double the pixels).

Is that what they mean by a "toothy" wrapper?

Thanks for the compliments.

The camera is a Canon A510 and I am very impressed with it. Many, many functions and quality 3.2 megapixel pictures for under $200. Plus the software that comes with it is good too. That's what I was testing with this picture.

I just bought a Canon A95 a couple weeks ago. I love it as well, ALOT of stuff to learn in order to use it properly though. Nice point and shoot mode as well.

Andy, . . . You Wont Find Good Picture Quality, Unless You Up Your Lens Size --- Most of the compact cameras have a lens that is the size of your thumbnail, and most are made from plastic. Only a High Quality Glass Lens with Large Optical Qualities will Give You the Results You Desire. The Larger The Glass Lens, the Better. AND, D O N ' T Be Fooled By Claims of High Digital Zoom. You Want High Opitical Zoom. Optical Zoom is the Actual Physical Properties and Limits of The Lens, It's Self. Digital Zoom is Computer Enhanced, and of Reduced Image Quality.

Jet,

I have been using the C2100UZ for years. It has a REAL big lens and a REAL 10X optical zoom. Screw digital zoom........if I want to interpolate pixels, I'll use software.

You are right about this though. I have taken pix with a 5MP camera at work that cannot compare to my C2100 (at 2.1 MP).

I was just hoping that I could find something that was not so friggin big and took comparable pix......maybe I ask too much??

If you find a compact camera that meets these qualities, please let me know ... I have a buddy that is bugging me for a compact option. I cannot recommend one, being that I am such a fan of my Kodak DX 6490 4.0 MP. It was a J.D. Powers Winner, and my parents got one on my recommendation. The 5.0's version features are even better than mine. I Highly Recommend It.

Just go for a big camera. We got a D70 in December. Came with an excellent Nikor 18-70 lens and we picked up a 70-300 for outdoor shots. Thinking about going with the 500 with the vibration reduction feature.

My wife is a photographer. I dabble.
