canon digital camera 8x optical zoom image

rockonthru

I am looking for a camera with-
8 or more megapixels
8x or more optical zoom
not over $600 (preferably $200-$400)
I want the camera to be able to use AA batteries(non-rechargeable) when I travel and a power source is not available.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Answer
Canon S5is fits the bill on all counts.

It's a great camera!

What non-slr camera is the quickest?

I want to get a decent digital camera but only want to spend about 400 dollars on it. I hate the wait between pressing the button and it actually taking the picture - we need something that is quick but I don't want the bulk or expense of a digital slr.

I am hoping for at least 8x optical zoom as well.

Answer
you'll have to look at the shutter lag data on dpreview.

sounds like you might be in the market for an SLR-like camera. Some of the ones I researched were the following:

Panasonic FZ8, FZ18
Sony H5, H7, H9
Canon S3 IS, S5 IS
