Money Magazine (Apr2004) had a small article about Digital Camera's with big zooms. The Pentax Optio555 with a 5X zoom was rated "Good" at $404. The Canon Powershot S1 IS with a 10X zoom was rated "Better" at $500. And the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ10 with a 12X zoom was rated "Best" at $550. The best two have an image stabilization feature that compensates for the slight shaking of the hand that can blur pictures during long exposures or extreme zooms - a problem I often have when I'm breathing hard on a climb.
