Hi,
i currently have a canon ixus and am looking to upgrade. i spend a lot of time doing sports,- kitesurfing, skiing etc, and would like to get some shots that can be printed A4 or 16*20.
most of the shots will be sea/snow background, and shot from a distance, so a high zoom is important. from the reviews i-ve read it-s not that clear about the possibilites of larger prints from a 5MP. there-s also a chance that i-ll need to crop some of the shot so would 8MP be advisable.
also a good burst mode would be a big advantage.
i-m looking at the canon powershot PRO1 or the powershot S2 IS. should i go for more zoom or more pixels? another option i-ve seen is the panasonic DMC FZ30, which has both, but is that bit more bulky, but i could live with it if it had great advantages.

any advice would be much appreciated,- thanks.
