I assume it's optical and not digital zoom?

Yes, in my mind that is granted - "digital zoom" isn't worthy of the name any more than a microscope is good as a telescope. :rolleyes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

All that for a student with almost zero income?! *cries* Sorry man, as budget cameras go zoom isn't much of an option. Besides, for the type of camera-work I usually do, I can generally get physically closer to my subjects - family members. ;)

Bah.

* hugs own Canon reflex film cam *

Not that that cam isn't good, I almost got myself one for Christmas... It's a shame that there are practically no good digital cams (I mean, reflex-style, with "pluggable" lenses and stuff) around here that cost less than 10k bucks.

:p

Mmmm, digital SLR. :) Anyway, 10k bucks... what's that in USD? The cheapest one I can find around here is AUD$1500, about USD$700.

That's about 3k USD. It varies constantly, though.

What my brother said. And remember that around here we have something like 60% to 100% import taxes over hi-tech stuff, that's why it gets so expensive even in US dollars.

Yeah, we get taxed into oblivion too, which I suppose is a pain short-term, but we get sweet social security. ;)
