Question Help me decide!
As some of y'all know, I'm trying to decide what my next digital camera should be. I know I want the 10x optical. Since hey is a body boarder, I want to capture pics of him out in it. My 35mm is ok, but I can't use the zoom without a tripod...a pain in the sand. SO...I first discovered the Kodak 6490...love it! I have a Kodak DX3500 now...easy to use, love the dock! BUT, jka & jazzy are telling me about the Minolta DiMage Z2. I also just read a review at newegg on the Olympus C740. Any thoughts out there guys/gals?!! I'm selling my 35mm to get a base for my savings...I have a bit to save up, trying to do proper research, though! Thanks for any help!

Well you know where i stand. I love my camera. This is where i went to find a review before i bought. Theres not too many review places of cameras, but this is a good one.
http://www.dpreview.com

Z1
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0308/03080703dimagez1.asp

Looks like they are making a Z3, haven't herd anything about it, but it looks good, 4MP 12X opt zoom.
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0407/04070703dimagez3.asp

I'm sure the Z3 is going to cost a ton.

Check out the cameras there.

I was a bit confused about the video card question, myself!!
Sony, huh? ARG!!!! More choices!!! Just when I thought my decision was made!!! LOL!!!
Thanks...on to more research! I appreciate it!!!

Otay...just did a quick check...they do look good...but I'm wanting the 10x optical zoom that the Kodak has...sooo, I guess I might just stick with the Kodak 6490!! Sorry JKA & jazzy, but this has more of what I'm looking for...besides...the whole dock thing works well with me...have one now & love it!
