Who is making 2.1 megapixel cameras?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread

I am leaning towards buying a Nikon 950 camera which will be on sale in the USA shortly. It is a 2.1 megapixel camera. Are there any other cameras that have this resolution and priced under $1000 that I should look into? I would actually like a 2.1 megapixel camera with a large OPTICAL zoom as on the Sony Mavica 91. Sound is not important to me. Is any manufacturer making this type of camera at the present time? Your responses will greatly be appreciated. Contact me directly at: talltandj@aol.com Thanks, Tom

There are a bunch of 2MP digicams about to hit the market. The one most competitive with the Nikon is probably the Olympus C-2000 Zoom. (See the preview on our site.) Other 2MP units are coming soon from Fuji (MX-2700, we've been promised a review unit), Toshiba (PDR-M4), and Konica. Of these, only the Oly and Nikon have optical zoom lenses.
