Yes, TR-

Mega=million

Also remember that you want optical zoom capability over digital.

I'm no expert, but I bought an Olympus C-750 Ultra-Zoom; 4M, 10X optical zoom, 4X digital.

It's the cat's ass, works like a dream.

Got it new (not E-bay, though) for $385, spent another $300 on doodads.

I see NewEgg wants $549 for one ATM.

Easy to use - just insert the batteries and GO!!!

Taking clear photos and recording video clips with sound
could'nt be simpler. Even viewing your images and movies (with sound&#33
on the monitor is possible!!

You can download your photos
onto your PC using the supplied
USB cable. Or why not view those photos from the comfort of your armchair using the supplied Video cable to link to your TV

Looks like I got myself a great deal considering how good this is and the fact it comes with all cables, is brand new, postal 1st class with insurance ... only to sit and wait now.
