Digital Cameras
Submitted by SamC on Tue, 2008-05-13 21:27.
G'Day,
In the market for a new digi camera. Over all the cheap shitty ones, so want a good one this time.
Couple of specs that are a must have:
- Fast Shutter Speed
- Over 7 megapixels
- Over 10x optical zoom
Been looking at the Panasonic DMC FZ8's and i like the style of them. This is the style of camera i want!
Willing to spend up to $600
Any suggestions would be good!
Cheers
Sam

check out the olympus sp-570.....
World's first digital compact camera with 20x optical zoom
As well as being the first digital compact camera to offer 20x optical zoom, the SP-570UZ has a manual zoom ring for fast, accurate control across the 26mm to 520mm zoom range. It also features Dual Shakeproof CCD-shift and high ISO blur-reduction systems to help prevent the blurring caused by camera shake that tends to occur at super telephoto settings.
In addition, it offers a 10-megapixel CCD, proprietary Olympus Face Detect & Shadow Adjust Technology, 13.5 frame-per-second high-speed continuous shooting, as well as other features for easy, high-quality imaging. With its advanced shooting capabilities, the SP-570UZ is an ideal camera for users who want high class performance in a compact body without the trouble of changing lenses.
