Just playing with this Olympus 8X optical zoom camera I picked up off ebay for $25. It's only 3MP but that 8X zoom is pretty cool. Now I just need to learn how to use it.

What model olympus is it?

I got a 10x 765UZ off the boards here and love it, though atmospheric hazing makes it best for mid-range shots (I was thinking of picking up an adapter tube and a UV and circular polarizing filter for it).

ZeRO, of course it's SF. Do you know any other cities with a pyramid building? The island in between me and the city is Treasure Island.

samwichse, this is a C-720 Ultra Zoom. I've been watching the ultra zooms waiting for a good deal. Naturally I wanted a 10X model like yours but this deal was too good to pass up.

If limiting to the United States, then Las Vegas and Memphis also have pyramids.

Oh yeah, the Vegas pyramid. But I didn't know Memphis had one too. However I certainly don't know of any pyramid building that is as tall as the Transamerica building in SF.

Pyramid Arena is neat. Too bad it mostly sets empty AFAIK.
