Peasy and CBC:

Right now my wife us using an Olympus SP570 UZ with a 20 x OPTICAL zoom. She uses very few of the functions of the camera. She takes animal pictures from the Jeep at Mingo National Wildlife Refuge here in S.E. Missouri. She gets good pictures from it, nothing wrong with it but she has always wanted a cannon. She does not think she could hold a Digital SLR steady enough for some shots, plus the lenses are not cheap. I saw where Cannon has came out with a new 20 power zoom camera for about $400.00. THAT is within our range. My question is this... Based upon what I said above, would the Cannon do better, and be a better camera than the Olympus. Remember, nothing fancy or trick about her picture taking, she just wants to be able to reach out and get the picture w/out shake.

Thanks
