[P1] Cameras

[Scott Warren]

I have found with 10x zoom cameras, you almost need a tripod so that 
the picture does not come out blurry.  At that zoom, even a little 
shake can be seen in the pic.  I also agree with earlier 
recommendations of getting a camera with optical zoom where you want it 
instead of the digital one.
