Was just wondering if any fellow snitzers had a HP camera or not....

I was going to get an Olympus (mid range) camera - some of the professional E-Series cameras go from $2000 upwards.

The one I had finally settled on was The C-Series 8080

C-8080 Wide Zoom


Then I stumbled on this for around half the price :

HP Photosmart 945

I know different specs and all that - but the HP one has a Optical Zoom doube that of the Olympus - and I don't think that I will get the additional benefits of going from 5.3 Mega Pixels to 8 Mega Pixels.

It's mainly for web work anyway - but also for physical marketing literature, brochures, advertising specialty work etc.

If anyone has any opinion, reviews of similar cameras in this range - I would like to hear them.

The difference with getting the HP one means I can get another station set up for the office

cheers,

brujo

Digital zoom is pants, get the one which has the highest optical zoom. Basically digital zoom works on the recorded image not the lens, so it is basically the same as zooming in using something like photoshop.

The more pixels the better as this gives finer and better definition in the image.

I curently have http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/fujis602z/ getting a bit old now, but a thoroughly excelent digital camera.

Huw,

sorry I had already amended my post - I wrote dig by mistake.

This is why I was going for the HP - twice the opt. zoom.

I'll take a look at the link you have put now.

Thanks,

brujo
