Make sure you first get lots of hd space. Seems a common complaint of
digital camera owners is a hd filling up with pictures real fast!
BTW big memory sticks (i.e. digital film) is expensive too.

The features are stunning though. For example like 400x zoom to read a
license plate number after taking the picture, that's if you wanted to.
Makes it seem like you're working for CSI or something...
