unicorn is on a distinguished road
I think 3 MP is pretty okey. Everybody have to make their own decisions. As I'm having an Epson R800 I guess 8 MP is overdue. Then I actually would like to have a Epson 4000 or at least 2100/2200... The R800 is to small.
So, I can understand the decisions about MP and zoom you made there adams. What I never would go for is an electrical zoom, I think that would drive me crazy. But your choize is still ok, spending money on "IS" can't be wrong with that type of zoom. By Minolta stops at 200mm (equiv) max focal length and the "AS" does a good job there.

(IS=image stabilized, AS=anti shake; two different methods that give roughly the same result - about 2-2.5 more stops to play with when you forgot your tripod.)

EDIT: For the jpg format only... Well, you allready understand I need RAW, otherwise I don't think it's fun enough.I understand that most people won't miss the RAW format.
