Is 40x optical zoom good?

– Up to 4K Ultra-HD video

Its 40x optical lens means it can capture from an equivalent 24mm wide-angle (wide enough for shots of groups, say, or landscapes), through to a massive 960mm equivalent (long enough to pick out far-away subjects and make them appear close-up within the frame)..

What is better digital or optical zoom?

This is digital zoom: The camera’s processor crops into the center of the photo. Optical zoom is ultimately better, as it magnifies an image to fill the entire image sensor — say, 10 megapixels worth. Digital zoom takes just the center portion of what the lens threw on the sensor, capturing fewer pixels, say 6MP.

How much zoom do you need for wildlife photography?

It’s hard to get close to most wild subjects, so wildlife photographers generally use long lenses: at least 300mm for an APS-C DSLR, or 400mm for a full-frame DSLR or 35mm SLR. If you can get fairly close to larger animals, a 70-200mm zoom can work.

What does 60x zoom mean?

Let’s look at the most interesting camera first, which is the P600 superzoom. Pushing the zoom limit to 60x optical means that birdwatchers and some long-distance sports photographers will be happy. The lens itself is reasonably wide at 24mm and extends to 1440mm (35mm equivalent).

What camera can zoom into the moon?

There’s a camera with a zoom so powerful that it can make far-away objects, like the moon that’s 238,900 miles away, appear close. The Nikon Coolpix P900 has an 83x optical zoom, which is the equivalent of 2000mm zoom range. That’s insane for a DSLR that costs $600.

How far can camera zoom in?

As zoom lenses have a range of focal lengths, they can cover several focal lengths inside the same type. So you can have a zoom wide-angle (i.e. 10-24mm) or a telephoto zoom lens (i.e. 200-500mm). Other zoom lenses cover from wide-angle to telephoto (i.e. 16-300).

How much zoom do you need to see the moon?

A low magnification of around 50x will show you the whole moon and give you the “big picture.” But to see the moon at its best, try a high magnification, at least 150x. The moon can tolerate high magnification better than any object in the sky.

What is 18x optical zoom equal to?

What is 20x optical zoom equivalent to?

The real, phsycial focal length of the lens is 5-100mm. Its “focal length equivalent” is from 28-560mm (which is where the 20x number comes from, and also approximates what the focal length of lenses would have to be on a 35mm film camera or full-frame dSLR.)
