needed: cheap digital camera w/ plenty of optical zoom

so i need to get a camera, and i would like to get one that can be used at autocross for snapping pics of cars on the course

decent camera w/ plenty of zoom (so im not limited to only cars near the timing truck) for under 200 ?

-memory need not be included on that price, needs to have a usb cord

GO!

^^If you have a spotter with you, you can go almost anywhere to snap pics and such.

point and shoot cameras are very limited with zoom. Whats your price range?

Target on transit/maple has quite the reduced selection.Try office max too (any of them).

it sounds like what you are looking for isn’t too feasible on your budget unless you find a good deal on something used.

standing location: i think ive got a bunch of leeway there, including the top of the timing truck, lol

today i had a camera w/ 10x zoom total, and it was fucking me out of good shots of stuff at the far end

im thinking of something like this:

for like $160 i can get one off ebay, then pick up a 1 gig card and some rechargables … and its not so expensive that id realy have to worry about other people touching it

Zooming in that far you really should have a tripod

i have a tripod already
