You didn't mention your budget. How much are you willing to spend?
I need help deciding which camera to buy. I would like something not too large, with enough megapixels to allow for quite a bit of cropping (I think at least 5).I would like the biggest lcd screen I can get and an optical zoom of no less than 5. I can't seem to get it all together!
