Before I got the Digital EOS, actually several cameras ago, I used a Casio
EX3000 (just sold it on ebay and the buyer loves it). It was a 3.3 mpxl and
had a Canon lens. It took great pictures. I did several hundred of our trip
to DC and Utah. Don't know about that specific camera but you should be ok.

You can look up the specific camera and do a side by side comparison with
others it that class.
