Office mates have tracked down a couple good deals on 3.2 megapixel digital
cameras with bigger than normal optical zoom, and I'm looking at buying one
this weekend. I'm looking for feedback on either camera, particularly how
they are for rocket use, (NOT for sticking inside the rocket like the
Pencam) as in the ability to snap a picture instantly when the button is
pushed, without the typical digital time lag.
Olympus C-720 3.2 MP, 8:1 optical zoom
Fuji Finepix 3800 3.2 MP, 6:1 optical zoom
I've found both on sale at various places for under $300, which seems to be what the cameras with only 3:1 optical zoom are going for elsewhere.
Or if you've got something else you'd recommend in this feature and price range, let me know. Soon!
