I currently have a Fuji HS25 EXR, it was recommended by the community, and im im pretty satisfied with it.
It does all the above mentioned and has pretty high resolution...
its a compact camera with 30x zoom.
I think it is a good camera for the current price.

If you would like to see some snaps that i took with it you can find them here in the forums
The pictures from post #20 are the ones taken with the fuji, on page two i have several shots where i tested the zoom.
Note i didnt had a tripod that time so its a bit shaky on full zoom

Okay, so this is how you do it.

To get a digital camera to serve your needs and much, much more, you wait down a quiet and/or dark alley that's frequented by members of the rich and famous set - you know, like movie stars and the like - and when a member of the paparazzi jumps out to snap a few pics of the poor unsuspecting star, you mug the 'pap' guy and take his camera.  Not only do you get a high quality camera that does all you want and more, the star is going to be eternally grateful and reward you for your bravery.... for keeping the 'pap' guy out of his/her face.

Who knows, with the right mask and 'underwear on the outside' costume, you could become a superhero to the stars and make a career out of it.

Oh, and don't feel guilty about it, either.  Just take a look at the depraved and underhanded steps those sneaky bastards will go to to snap a pic of some poor celebrity's bare bum... or their boobies after an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.

Nah, I say go for it, girl... just don't become one of them [a 'pap] because you've got a decent camera.

However, if you do, and you get some snaps of celebrity boobies, you should probably send them to me so's I can ascertain whether or not they're suitable for printing.

googling?  No way!  Reminds me too much of ogling, of which I am on  the receiving end too often.  :)    J/K.  I just switched to Avatar browser and it defaults to duck.go.  Like it.
