12X zoom and leica lens, what more could you ask for?
I WANT!

I need a camera that has a hot shoe or external flash to (hopefully) eliminate red eye. I also would like a good zoom (optical) to take photos of eagles soaring over the lake and perched in trees. I realize that if I go a zoom larger than 8x, I need the image stabilization. I prefer to stay within the $500.00 range but if I need to increase I will. Thanks in advance for your responses. Jen
