10x digital cameras

imported
#1

The search for the perfect digital camera continues… anyone want to comment on the pros and cons of a 10x zoom for those long-distance shots of bears, eagles, and hikers on the switchbacks? My background is SLR (journalism major many years ago) and I’m in the market for something that can handle wet conditions and yet not break the bank. Loved my Pentax K1000 and the long lenses, did not love lugging a heavy carrying bag.

They make some nice ones with a GPS included, great if you post and want to geo-tag to a map
