Hi--(Whoa, you live in Davis; I live in Woodland!)
I saw the ZR30 and thought it was great that it has the buttons that light up (the ZR10 did not have);
Have you found out the still-shot resolution specs? I thought about this camera, but am now testing out 2-to-3 megapixel still cameras with my computer and printing up on fine glossy paper this past week . ..
I tried the ultra-small Canon Elph 100 (2.1 megapixels) and thought it was a cool little camera, esp for the size. It prints a fairly nice color / b-w picture (using an Epson 740i / high quality setting / glossy photo paper = great stuff; just like real glossy film)
However; I returned it to Staples today (they have a 14 day no questions policy) -- and bought the Kodak 4800 (3.1 megapixs) -- WOW -- there is a remarkable, amazing photo quality with a 3 megapix camera! The 2 megapix, again is very very nice.
We want nice shots for our family, and for a future investment, it seems well worth it to go with a 3 megpix.
For Video / Still -- you may want to have just a ZR30 if you are only needing photos for (lower-resolution) needs ie informal snapshots for friends, or internet publishing. I saw a ZR10 hooked up to an iMac DV (snow) and thought it was the coolest; you could control the camera with the iMovie software.
If anyone finds out the specs for a DV cam as far as still shot outputs, please say so here!
:]
