Full Version: Coming Compact Zooms?
PhotographyBLOG Forums > Digital Photography > Digital Cameras

I am thinking of upgrading my bulky 3Mp 10x optical zoom camera to something slimmer... Reading and reading loads of reviews I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I want something slim, but still with more than just 3x optical zoom. There are Pentax cameras with 5x zoom in a compact body, but then there is always something else lacking. The Ricoh Caplio R3 looked very promising until I read the review (extremely noisy images). Ideal would be one of those super slim cameras with 2.5" display etc... but they never have more than 3x zoom, do they?

So, my simple question is: Have you heard any rumours about coming compact cameras with more than 3x zoom? I'm tempted to wait and see before I buy. Where is the best site/blog for rumours about coming models? I suppose the PhotographyBLOG should be one of them.
