Except, perhaps, for the Olympus E-10 and E-20n which SLRs with manual zoom, and will zoom just as fast as you want. They're priced a lot lower than Nikon and Canon SLR digitals. DPReview is a good place to read about them.

Many sample photos are available for download. Yes, the zooming action of many digicams is too slow for me also, but there's not a lot of options below the level of the Nikon and Canon SLR-type digicams. For what it's worth, Pentax at this time does not offer a really good digital camera. The Pentax 330 and 430 are very cute little P&S cameras for those who shoot occasionally, but they are not serious tools for general photography by any stretch of the magination. -- John Mustarde - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
