[DeTomaso] sorta NPC, Suggestions for digital cameras?

[Jim Hendrickson]

Check your instruction manual to make sure you have it set right. I use an
antique Sony Mavica FD 95. In the auto mode I push the button half way to
let the cameras make the auto adjustments. There is a green light in the
viewfinder that blinks while the camera is doing the settings. When the
light comes on solid, it is ready to take the picture. I do that well ahead
of where I want to take the picture. I track the car for a while with the
button half way down and then push it the rest of the way when I am at the
point where I want to take the picture.

My big complaint about delay is the 15 - 20 seconds that it takes to record
the picture. It uses a Floppy adapter to record to the memory stick.

Time to update, Because of the delay in my present camera, I took a lot of
pictures of the rear ends of cars, LOL.  I'd like something which:
   
  1)  about 10X digital zoom
   
  2)  minimum delay in capturing image
   
  3)  image stabilization
   
  4) 6+ M Pix
   
  I think think the DSLRs do all this, but I'm not sure I want to spend $600
on a camera if the technology is still evolving rapidly.
   
  Maybe an Olympus SP-510 UZ or a Canon S3 IS?
