Ignore my red m. I just returned from an 8 day trip and the refurb Kodak DX6490 (about 319 bucks) did well. It's a 4 MP and 10X Zoom and I'd get it again. Look at the replacement versions Kodak has rolled out too.

How can I have it all? I'm new to the DC world, and take a ton of pictures. I need something I can carry with me on fun outings with friends that allows for fast snapshots, but I don't want to give up on having a good zoom. Also, I am an avid outdoorswoman and like to take landscape shots from time to time, too. Sometimes I will blow up a picture to 8x10. How can I have it all?
I've heard that some compact cameras are built so that you can add on a larger lense when you want. Is this true?
What recommendations do you have? Please help!
Thank you in advance.
