    Slashdot is broken. I am using Opera and the ad is bleeding in the article.

    Rather like something that was very cool circa 1986. This looks like the designer was hibernated for 20 years and they just thawed him to design this camera.

  4. Many times,10x optical zoom lets you get the photo by Futurepower(R) · · Score: 2, Funny

    We are very happy with our Olympus camera with a 10x optical zoom. Many times if you don't have 10x zoom, you just can't get the picture.

    You said, "... if the picture is bad, you were not close enough...".

    New rule of thumb for photographers: If you got eaten by a lion, you were too close.
