There's a special on the S3200 at IC where you get this camera as well as a C25 for R1999. We are looking for something with a nice optical zoom but couldn't decide on whether to go for a smaller compact like the Samsung F150W or something bigger like Fuji S2995 or one of the other bridge Canons or Nikons. This might solve the problem, but what do you guys think? We are both just normal users without any photography training. Any other suggestions in the price range up to R2500?
