I think Canon just made the perfect camera

That's actually pretty close spec wise to my camera with the exception of the batteries and zoom.

Mine uses a proprietary li-on batter and is 12x optical.

But it's a P&S and pockatable.

One problem...
1/2.3-inch type Charge Coupled Device (CCD)

Great beginner cam. I started my quest in photography with a superzoom too. But don't be expecting spectacular image quality.

I'd love to see something like this combined with a micro-4/3 sensor. Maybe panasonic will do it with their FZ line.

Canon did make the perfect camera, it's called the 5D MKII.

I'd be pretty happy with a 5D MKII

i don't know jack shit about cameras though, that one in the OP is a really good one? i've always been happy w/my canon point and shoots.

Ask the guys in the photography subforum, they seem to know their shit about compact and ultrazoom cameras.

What camera would that be?

Awesome camera IMO.

It uses a lite version of the same codec that blu-ray uses to get 2 hours of 720P HD video onto 16GB SD card, double that with a 32GB.

Takes great pics also.

I'm very happy with mine as well.

Just take note of some beeping issue with certain memory cards when recording video in silent rooms.

Good to know, I haven't run into this that I recall though.

I bought the Panasonic FZ35 instead and I love it.

AA batteries suck.
