Perhaps a wild goose chase - though I was blown away when I simply opened a catalog today from the local Officeworks(!) store which had a SLR based (if not semi) Digital camera which could offer 10 mega pixel resolution with a 20x Optical Zoom for a little bit over $500! What I didn't understand with it was this face detection business. Personally I'm not in the business of taking people photos - though the impression I got was this camera was meant to do exactly that! But what puzzles me is the 20 power Optical Zoom! :-o Unless you're down at the Cricket or something I don't see why you'd need 20 power. Personally I thought it would come in extremely handy in taking bird photos from a distance and the 10 mega pixels would make them look good!
Personally I don't feel I'm done with the Camera I have - even though it's 4 years old and offers half that optical zoom with a bit over half the mega pixel range, it makes me freak when I see a camera with twice the mega pixels and optical zoom around the price I brought my camera some 4 years ago! :-o At the moment there's a few other things on the agenda (e.g. GPS Reciever!)
