I've been looking for a cheap SLR Camera but most are expensive so I found the Fuji FinePix S6500 FD for £200 (online) and its SLR-like but I wondered about it as it says in a review that you can zoom 4.5x at 6MegaPixels but the zoom is 10.7x so is that only at a lower setting (e.g. 3 MegaPixel)?
Also can anyone say that the camera is worth it as I love photography and Im using a bad digital camera and I was looking for a more sophisticated one so is this camera?

I have a vivitar and its rubbish, Its 6 MegaPixels and has 4x digital zoom which isnt actually zoom it just magnifys the image and make it look rubbish thats why I want a better camera not vivitar.

The S6500fd is a great camera for its class.
Yes- it really does have a 10.7x optical zoom. 28mm-300mm (effective).

If you really love photography like I do, I suspect you will be discouraged unless you step up to a larger sensor that is fould only in DSLR's.
The good news is that the prices of them have dropped tremoundeously. You'll need to spend about 300, but you'll forget the cost long after you are appeciating the nice photos.
