I have a little Sony Cyber-shot with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. I
upraded the card for more room. But I should imagine you would like to
have some very close shots of the monkeys etc so I would think a good
zoom facility would be lots better. Remember, annospree...you will only
get ONE chance per position. :-) Them-thar monkey-critters sure move
around!!! Have a great time.
