Canon® PowerShot S5 IS 8MP Digital Camera Canon® PowerShot® G9 12.1MP Digital Camera Canon® PowerShot® SD870 IS ELPH 8MP Digital Camera Fuji® FinePix S8000fd 8MP Digital Camera or a similar model to 1 of these, I have to decide today b/c I will get 20% off if I order it online today! I like the idea of a compact camera, but I also really want a good zoom, so I'm kind of stuck. I'm not real camera-smart so a point and shoot would probably be best, I don't know, HELP!

my 2 centsi have the canon powershot s3 which is 6meg with a 12x optical...highly recommend getting the S5. It's a little bigger than the other Powershots but the zoom and the features/speed make it worthwhile If you can afford it - go with slr

Thanks for the input, though!

remember to find the camera with the highest number optical zoom, digital zoom is worthless, and high megapixel, but quality of the camera also matters and there are some high megapixel cameras but look like crap... canon is a good brand though.

As far as I've read, anything higher than 10MP is basically useless unless you are printing giant pictures.
