Have a look at what Olympus and Panasonic have on offer.
Olympus put out a 3.5 MP digicam with 10x optical and 30x digital zoom. My
wife has one and it's output is excellent. Panasonic are not too shabby
either although I would say - as an owner a lot of HP gear - that anything
from HP could be considered good. It's just that cameras from Olympus are
excellent.
