what is the best digital camera for zoom options?

My daughter wants a digital camera for Christmas and has enjoyed the zoom lenses on her Pentax SLR so I am trying to go digital with as many zoom options as reasonable pricing will allow.

If you're looking for another Pentax SLR, the Pentax K100D and Pentax K110D are really good options.

If you're looking for a non-SLR, I suggest you check out our Extended Zoom section. I personally like the Panasonic FZ50.

Well, if she already have a Pentax SLR, I will assume she have lenses as well,

Getting Pentax Digital SLR would be good idea. since all the pentax fit lens (the old M42 mount lens with an adapter) will fit on a Pentax Digital SLR. and for the price no one else can beat.

if you don't need to Shake Reduction function, go with the K110D,
if you want it, then go with the K100D, or money is not a problem, go with the K10D.

If you want to change back to regular Digital Camera- check out the Canon Powershot line.and the Panasonic Lumix line

High-end digital Cameras you can Check out the Fuji-finepix S9000( it's around the same price range as the Pentax K110d)
or this Sony line http://www.sonystyle.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/SY_BrowseCatalog-Start?CategoryName=dcc_DIDigitalCameras_style_fullfeatured&Dept=cameras
they all really good Digital cameras

If you want to go on with Pentax... DO IT! buy the K100 D (I wouldn't say the K10 D because it's much more expensive, and the last reviews are not that positive).

But if you are just asking about zooms, the best one is in the Samsung Pro815 with a 15x zoom.
The Panasoni FZ30 is a really good one... (don't buy the FZ50... the only difference between a 10 and a 8 mp, is the $100).
If you want a profesional lens, but in a not SRL camera... ask for the Leica V-LUX 1.
Don't even ask for the Sony's or Canon's. Ask for the Nikon large zoom cameras, but the design is not that beautiful.

I will say it again... aim for continuing with Pentax. I own a K100, and I couldn't be more pleased (well... maybe with the Leica M8... but there's a little diference... almost anything... $4000 bucks). If not, you would have to buy again lenses or give up image quality for versatility and price.

Hope this helps you,
Alan.
