I just sold my kodak dc260 after i saw what you can do with the new generation of digital camera like the coolpix 950. For sports shots it look really good compare to my old Kodak.

After looking around the features of all the new ones, i kind like the specs of the new epson photopc 800. The fact that it's USB, it use compatflash (i have a 32Mb card already), great resolution, free rechargeble batteries and less expensive make me seriously think buying one. But i can't find no review. their web site talks about a 2X digital zoom but no word about an analog one. I'm not sure what it means. Has anyone ever seen one?

here are 2 web sites talking about the Epson 800

The first one also mentions an Epson 850 due out in late '99. It is the version with an optical zoom. The 850 is the one I am waiting for to update from my Epson 750z.
