You mention the one camera has 3x zoom, but you don't say if that is digital or optical? There IS a difference! I had those listed as 2 separate items on my spreadsheet.

And like Ginger's Mom, I went with the Canon A560.
Sandra I checked out the polaroid and it has 3x optical and 4x digital. It seems to be an ok little camera but I know there are others out there for about the same price that are better. Have better features and are just better overall for picture quality and stuff.
