Many thanks to Brandie Kajino from Organize Simplify for commenting and letting us know that there are 2 other affordable digital cameras with wide angle zoom lenses! Here is my original digital camera review post, luckily I haven't purchased the Kodak Easy Share v705 7.1 megapixel 5x ultra wide angle Dual Lens optical zoom yet!
Here are the 2 new contenders
1) The Canon PowerShot SD800 with 3.8x Wide Angle Image-Stabilized Optical Zoom
At around $300 the Canon PowerShot SD800 is similar to the others, and it has received very good reviews from Digital Photography Review and CNET.com (7.8 out of 10)
2) The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX01 It looks great too. It come in colors including pink! Here's a review of it from Digital Photography Review. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0602/06021404panasonicfx01.asp
This is a much tougher decision now!









I'm glad you found it useful! Just love resources, so you keep them coming! :)

Hi Ariane!
I wondered what you chose? I'm in the market myself and revisiting all of this stuff. :)

Hi Brandie, thanks for the comments! I'm afraid I haven't made the purchase yet. Our new roof is going to cost $20K!! So we are saving our dollars...and that is just going to have to wait a while. But the the time I'm ready to buy...maybe there'll be an even better one on the market! : )

One's first step in wisdom is to kuesteon everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything.
