did you guys NOT read his price range? $200.... If you need optical zoom, you're going to want to budget at LEAST $350 or so for the camera, memory, and maybe batteries. Digital zoom is virtually worthless, and in that price range, that is all you'll get most likely. If you can up your price range, some cameras to look at are the canon a20, nikon 775, fuji 2600, and the olympus d590z(not sure on the model of the olympus)
