I was looking in a London Drugs flyer and saw a 12 megapixel Kodak
Z1275 camera (easyshare) for $230. I thought it was a misprint and
checked Kodak, but it really is 12 MP.

I guess I'm slow on times, since weren't 12 MP camera $1200 + before?
What are the high end cameras costing now? Do they have 30MP cameras
that are the NEW 12 MP?

Plus, there was an Olympus Evolt-510 Digital SLR for $659 .... but it
was only 10 MP , what's with the huge price difference, I mean, it IS
an SLR ... thinking about it ... is it the 12 MP SLR's that are in the
$1200 price range?

Btw, what company is the best for Digital SLRs with the 8+ MP range, I
might need one for a trip soon. (Would it be worth it to buy a camera
in Japan, would cameras that are not released in North America be
cheaper there?)
