I believe my wishes have finally been satisfied! I've been looking for a digital replacement for my favorite 35mm (HEAVY) outfit - a Nikon with an autofocus 28-300mm zoom. At 72, I just am no longer comfortable carrying this combo around all day. The answer? - an Olympus C-730 with a 10X OPTICAL zoom, all small enough to fit in the palm of my hand. This is a NEW Olympus offering, and is an upgrade to the C-720, with an 8X lens. My question . . . is there someone in this group with ersonal experience with either of these to cameras? Anything you particularly like, or more importantly, you don't like? I've been VERY reluctant to give up the beautiful performance of my film camera, until someone at least comes close to my wishes. I wish the C-730 provided a bit more than 3.2 megapixels, but I guess I can learn to live with it. Alas, no more 20" x 30" enlargements! Thanks for any comments . . . praise or pans. Carl Sachs
