Try http://photo.askey.net and you will be confused with all the info given, I went to this site as it is independent for reviews, and is honest and informative on all types and models. I jumped into a Nikon Coolpix 990 and it is fantastic in all modes. The yanks seem to be having some trouble with this model but have not seen or met any unhappy users in Aus. Bobster.

Great info, thanks. Anyone know a link to an image and details of the Olympus C920Z? It’s not included anywhere I’ve searched.

I didn't get round to handling one, but the C920Z looks just like the C900Z. It is/was also marketed/sold as the D450Z, but is the same camera. The difference is Pal or NTSC I believe.

Try using http://www.google.com to search, there are plenty of results. Try these for size:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/9910/99101901olyc2020z.asp (scroll down halfway)

I'd better stop looking at these pages or I'll develop a sudden "need" to get a new one :) :) :)

Cheers!

Squiddley, many thanks.

Some more links; the first is to today's Sunday Times "Doors" review. Can you believe that the Web version hasn't got any pictures in it!

The second and third are to PC Magazine's reviews of June and December 2000.

The Technology is advancing rapidly. The lens is the first thing to consider and you only get what you pay for. Once the light is inside the camera, it's down to electronics and the number of features and enhancements provided. And, the more pixels the better (and the more pennies).

For proper zoom, you have to have some optical zoom (Say 2x or 3x). Pure electronic or digital zoom is done at the expense of resolution.

My two-year old Olympus 1400 still delights; the next step must be to a digital camcorder, so keep contributing to that thread, please, folks.
