Hiya, Do entry level dslrs have extended zoom erm... features? I really would like the extended zoom but I'm going on a 4-5 month hike in east asia and i'm living out of a 45 liter travel bag and don't really have the room for any extra lenses...... which is the main reason for looking into the extended zoom ...
I was curious about this camera:
http://www.olympuscanada.com/cpg_sec...p?product=1367
it is a Olympus SP-570 UZ
I was also looking into the Sony H50... but people told me to stay away from sony...
and i've heard mixed reactions over lumix.....
As for cannon, everyone has said something good about cannon but they don't seem to have many of the features i'd LIKE (not nessacary) to have in mine :P

I appreciate your help very much
: )
and any futher help would also be appreciated
Cheers ^_^

If you are shooting for only digital the S5 is incredible. If you want to print them get a dSLR.
