Budget

* What budget have you allocated for buying this camera? Please be as specific as possible.

350-400ish can go a little higher maybe

Size

* What size camera are you looking for? Or does size not matter at all to you?

Dont care

Features

How many megapixels will suffice for you?

5-7 I guess

* What optical zoom will you need? (None, Standard = 3x-4x, Ultrazoom = 10x-12x, Other - Specify)

4-5 preferably, 3 is ok

* How important is “image quality” to you? (Rate using a scale of 1-10)

10

Do you care for manual controls?

It doesn't really matter too much

General Usage

* What will you generally use the camera for?

Landscape photography, clouds, sunsets

* Will you be making big prints of your photos or not?

Maybe

Will you be shooting a lot of indoor photos or low light photos?

Lowlight if sunsets are considered low light

Will you be shooting sports and/or action photos?

Not much if at all.

I guess that pretty much covers everything. I was looking at a Olympus C-7000, but its always better to have more opinions. Oh and I would like to be able to use a hoya r72 (I think? Infrared filter). Is the c-7000 a good camera for what I want or are there better ones? Any suggestions as to which camera will fit what I want best would be great.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions
