Digital zoom IMO is pointless - it makes the photos unusable due to how much it degrades image.

These seem to be a great price right now, wonder how this would compare to the Canon? Larger camera I know but maybe a decent buy?

The £200 Canon package mentioned earlier sold for £170, seems like a good buy.

I think he sells some refurbished but the one Justin linked to is brand new.
I was going to buy a DSLR camera from this ebayer a while back but I bottled due to his neg feedback. He has got large sales but quite a few negs.
