We all love to take pictures on our cruises/land trips. I have been researching getting a new "mini-camera" that will fit in a purse to supplement my old and trusted Finepix S5000. Today, doing so, found on www.dpreview.com that there is a new camera out there from Olympus that is 18X! After I got home from Africa, I was amazed what better photos the people with 12X got compared to mine (10X). Perhaps those of use who love taking pictures but don't want to carry around all those lenses have finally found what we want? This camera, on an SLR scale, is supposed to deliver similar to 28-504 mm. in one lens. I can't believe it! Eager to hear the reviews when they come out. Would love to hear what you guys out there with SLR's have to say about this.
