Hi Guys,

I am ditching my 3.1Mp Kodak digicam.  The longest night exposure it
can take is 4 seconds.
I am looking at 5-6Mp digicams capable of longer exposures.  I am
looking at doing afocal imaging but you can also tell me of your
experience with digital SLRs. D-SLRs are probably out of my budget.  Is
it better to go for an x3 or optical zoom?
Most grateful in advance.

Cannon 300 D 6.3 megPix is a good one, SLR style, removable lens, bulb setting etc... Used cameras going for $500-$600 on Ebay! Julius
