Hi,
I really need to make a decision fast so that I can buy my new camera and have time to play with it before our trip. I was looking at the Sony H1 or the Canon S12(i think, the one similar to the H1). I was also looking at another Sony Camera DSC-N1 that came out a few months back, it has 8.0 mega pixels. How important is having 12x zoom, 5.1 mg pixels? or is 8.0 mg pixels and 3x zoom better? Is having 12x zoom really that important, to get lower mega pixels? I would like to find a Camera for no more than $500 that will take very nice photos, so any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would like to stick with Sony since I can use the accessories I have, but open to other brands as well, just need a great camera for at or under $500. I also have no clue of how far you can zoom with 12x vs 3x, would 3x zoom be enough? Please Help, I'm a camera dummy , lol
