[QUOTE="Apache, post: 26218, member: 828"] Resolution - anything over 5 Mega pixels should be fine printed @ A4. There are higher resolution available - but they use up more space on your hard drive Optical zoom - look for 4/5X. Bigger are available but the cameras tend to be more money and 'professional' models with big lenses stuck on the front. Digital zoom - doesn't count - just makes things bigger and blurry! Memory card - SD most common Battery - can eat standard AA's. Some come with a Li-Ion rechargeable and they last longer. But you are stuffed if it goes flat when you are on holiday ;) Avoid Vivitar - had no end of problems with mine. If you are likely to do any close ups most have a 'macro' mode - but not all Check what comes with the camera - often you don't get the memory card or a case and you may need to allow for these in your budget [/QUOTE]
