	I recently bought a Canon SD300 Elph due to it's good ratings, but find it isn't really suitable for my needs. I find that it doesn't have enough optical zoom. I'm looking for a new camera and was hoping someone could provide some suggestions based on personal experience. What I would prefer is 4-5 megapixel with a high optical zoom. I don't need alot of manual settings, I prefer the automatic point and shoot variety. Thank you Anna

	There's no doubt that the elph was a mistake...I've got it on auto and the pictures come out quite dark...I've had to edit them in Photoshop just to improve the quality. I don't think size is going to matter anymore....my analog camera was quite large. "Gymy Bob" <nospam@bight.me> wrote in message news:QaudnVRL59iafi3cRVn-vw@golden.net...> He bought an Elf.

Just have a look at a DX6490 in a shop - it's not as large as it appears in some of the pictures online. I'm no expert, but I think you will find that you will often have to compensate for under or overexposure in software when taking pictures in auto. It depends on the light the subject etc and the auto modes can't always get it excactly right. Hope you find a camera that suits.

	I guess it depends whether you want a camera in your pocket ready to use or one on your dresser at home that will do everything if you had an extra shoulder to carry the camera case. You may be setting up the camera incorrectly or if the exposure is off it's a factory tuneup job. Don't wait until the warranty expires.

Don't wait until the warranty expires. It's nothing like as big as you're suggesting.

	All the cameras I have had in the last ten years...there have been 5 of them can slip in my pocket...any pocket. I carried the thru the lens junk for years and it won't be there when you want it unless you have no life. When you have a huge bump just to hang on to it doesn't fit in a pocket or a hip pack very well.

Personally, I don't find a bag slung over my shoulder to be any hassle. And remember, the original poster was looking for something with a high optical zoom. Not sure of any pocket models that have a 10x optical zoom.

	Anna, The Kodak EasyShare has a 10x Zoom at 5 mega pixels and is listed sometimes for $499. Any camera with a high zoom should have an antishake feature. I don't know if it does have anti shake. Several years back, my second digital camera was a Sony Mavica 14x optical zoom with antishake. I still have the camera but don't use it much unless I need a long zoom for a small photo. It was great for small animal photos in Africa, where it is hard to get close to some of the animals, and for zooming in on flowers for a small photo. I think it is about 3 MP or 3.5 MP. Don't know if this camera is sold any more, but you might find a review some where. Recently, someone on a photo news board wanted to buy one.
