Help with Bell & Howell BH725

Can anyone tell me what the true base resolution of this camera is before interpolation?

also what is the optical Zoom capabilities

MANY THANKS

Dont buy it

All the listings on ebay falsly claim of having "4x Optical" zoom. But when i went to Bell & Howells website it states of having "4x DIGITAL" zoom.(http://www.thpsales.com/store/viewItem.asp?idProduct=1029) So, who are you going to believe? Somebody just trying to make money off ebay? Or the manufacturer?

Bell & Howell website

Can you post the URL of the Bell & Howell website? I keep getting lists of places that sell them rather than the manufacturer. I bought a Bell & Howell dighital camera from a newspaper ad and it has no contact information at all in the literature included. The camera is marked as a Model 5X300 Regulatory Model 5X300C System rating 3V700MA and Made in China. The latter makes me wonder if it is really a Bell & Howell or a knockoff and I got suckered.

I have gotten some decent pics, but the manual is very vague. Also, now the zoom has stopped operating.

Thanks!
