I'm thinking of getting one. The main thing that drew me to it was the 10x zoom - I can't find another cam with that kinda zoom, at that size and price range - why does no-one else do one? Couple of questions: 1. Does the fact that it says 6.3 - 63mm, (35-350mm equivalent) mean that the image starts off smaller than a normal 35mm anyway? or does it mean that it will be the same as a 35mm zoom? ie. will an object 1m high be the same size on the C-750, as on a normal 35mm camera? 2. Does the absense of an AF Assist light REALLY make a difference? Surely itll still be ok for indoor pics with a little light etc. ? 3. What is people's general opinion on the camera? I'm not a camera enthusiast or anything, I just want a camera which can be used normally on holidays etc, but I really like the idea of the big zoom. Thanks, Daniel
