Best Answer

Optical zoom cameras are used to take a shot in which a far-away object appears both prominently and clearly. Essentially you need a decent zoom lens to obtain this ability, and a good camera with a widely-adjustable lens offers this feature.

What is the average optical zoom for a camera?

I usually see anywhere from 6x to 12x optical zoom, then most digital cameras also have digital zoom, up to about 20x


Which is the best digital camera for its zoom option?

Point-and-shoot digital cameras come with a fixed lens, that often has both an optical zoom and a digital zoom. The fujifilm FinePix S3200 has a 24x optical zoom and 6.2x digital zoom. DSLR cameras such as Canon cameras with an EF mount, like the EOS and Rebel series cameras, can have different lenses attached. These lenses can have focal lengths of 600mm and beyond.


What is the difference between Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom for a digital camera?

A optical zoom use the lenses to focus in on a subject, pretty much the same way binoculars work. Digital zoom magnifies the subject by enlarging in in the pic thru a digital process, this is not a true type of zoom.


What is a good camera brand or a specific camera that is cheap and has a good zoom like 8x?

Nikon, Canon, Sony etc., are all very good and economical too. The differentiator should not be the price, but how it feels in your hand. Can the camera take the types of pictures that you want to take. Also, very few cameras have 8x optical zoom. Digital zoom is not very good as the picture quality will be poos and you will not like the results of digital zooms. Make sure that the camera you buy has 8x optical zoom.


How much difference is there between a x50 zoom and x60 zoom on a digital camera?

You will have an image about 20% larger at x60, but there is catch. Usually magnification of that amount is a combination of the optical zoom and digital zoom. The total obtained by multiplying. With digital zoom, the quality will likely decrease faster as the magnification increases. So normally, the optical zoom will go to maximum before the digital zoom begins to operate. So if the x50 has 10x optical and then 5x digital, it could produce a better image than 6x optical with 10x digital zoom (unless the optics are not that great). It's good to know which is which. See if you can find reviews on both.

Are there any digital cameras that have an optical zoom higher than 5?

That's pretty common once you get up to the more serious price ranges.The Sony Cybershot HX1 has a 20x optical zoom,but it costs 380$.For cameras in that price range a 5x zoom just isn't going to make your customer happy.

Is 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom good?

3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom are standard features on most mid-range pocket digital cameras. A better optical zoom capability would be 6x or 8x optical. The digital zoom capability can be ignored, since all it does is crop and expand your image, necessarily reducing its resolution. Digital zoom may be handy for giving you a close-up view in the viewfinder or on the viewscreen, but the photographer must remember that picture quality shot with digital zoom may be compromised. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP U:P


What is x in camera?

Zoom. It's the amount of times it can make something bigger like 2x or 5x, the higher the number the more it can zoom in.There are 2 types of Zoom: Optical and Digital.Optical Zoom is more important, and has to do with the length the lens comes out of the camera.Digital Zoom crops the picture then zoom, like a computer program and too much can look bad. Digital Zoom is not as important and should not be used to compare cameras.


What is the best information to compare digital cameras?

You will want to compare digital cameras on how many megapixels it is, the optical zoom, the lenses, the clarity, ease of use, what it is best used for, and the price.
