zoom...not digital zoom...all that does is crop and distort the image LCD viewfinder and regular, optical viewfinder. Mine just has the LCD and that's fine for me but some insist on an optical (like the ones you look through on a cheap 35mm camera...LCD is like a tv screen. Megapixel: I have a 6.3 megapixel and this is pretty high. You usually don't see many past 8. I had a 2.3 meg and it took 4x6's that looked just fine. The larger the megapixels, the more detail in the image and thus the larger you can print the pics w/o them looking grainy. Video mode: If you want to shoot a lot of vids, get a camcorder. Some digital cams, however, do take vids. Mine, for example, takes 60 frames per second video for up to 15 minutes. ALWAYS review before you buy. Type in the make/model of the cam on Amazon.com and epinions.com.
