RE; 3X zoom is more than enough for indoors,however for outdoors such as yard or local park,3x is just not enough, it depends on what you will do with it,also I take lots of shots then choose the best ones, you wont believe how many pictures you will take that include keepout signs,posts,and even garbage cans included in your shots,more zoom for outside is a biggie"for detail,and less peripheral junk showing up in your pictures best wishes on 12/14/02 1:11 AM, Jane Sprando at janesprando at msn.com wrote: > I have been to several stores physically checking out the digital cameras.
