I just ordered a Nikon 5700 digital this morning, with the optical zoom. It has 5.0 effective mp, and I am hoping that with the optical zoom that it will give me the close-up shots that I want. I want shots that are closer than I can do with my SLR, and closer than I have seen from any digital pictures of my friends. This is a whole different ballgame for me, so I hope that I've picked well. :|
