What is the best camera in 350 range?

Jun 18, 2005 3:26AM PDT

I am going to be using camera for mostly animal pics. Many shots will be from about 100 yards away. I really would like to have something that zooms in well. What is the best from a camera that has good zoom abilities in the $350-450 range? Are digital cameras just not good for zoom?
