Going back to the old style film cameras, how would you rate for the
distribution of critical components of a camera which contribute to
producing excellent photos (excluding human talent and touch) ?  Would
you say they were 60% lens quality, 30% technical/mechanism or photo

I know we've all had this discussion before but, I have a friend that wants
to print-out his pictures taken with his Nikon D2X. He's leaning in the

Kodak C875.  I'm ready to purchase one.  I like the Kodaks and no one

However, after manipulating my first 35mm slide image and getting the color

I'm looking for a good pair of binoculars that have a built-in digital camera.
They exist all over the place but deciding which is best for the money is a real
challenge.
I need some help.....so:

I'd like something with some decent zoom. Is there such a thing as an
all-in-one lens that will do say 18-200?
And what do I need to look for to make sure any lens I buy will be as future
proof as possible? (i.e. fit as many possible different future D-SLR cams)?
