Often i see questions about how to handle when a camera has to be compact / small but still has zoom abilities .

Let me make it clear that i can't and wont talk here about all models instead i point out where a type of camera could be used for and what to have and what not . (sounds vage now but i wll lit a candle on it soon)

I am not going to talk about film compact or bridge camera's but only digital camera's

there are too many models and i will only pick...
