canon digital camera 35x optical zoom image
Florencia
i've seen canon sx30 with 35x optical zoom, is there any higher?
Answer
Yes it's the best for now, but you have to consider a few problems before going wild for zoom. I own the predecessor Canon S5 IS (12x zoom) and SX10 IS (20x zoom). I kept the S5 because of some of the problems with the longer zoom camera, even though the SX10 is a good one.
The SX30 IS has wonderful focal length, but reviews and sample shots show serious chromatic aberration (purple fringing) problems and image quality is not up to its predecessors. This requires a work with software to eliminate the purple or sometimes green at the edges of high contrast areas on the image.
Another mechanical aspect of these long lenses that is often ignored is the "slow lens" (it's true for ALL the competitors as well) - the longer the zoom the smaller the aperture must be - requiring a much slower shutter speed. This is to the point that you need a tripod to avoid camera shake in many situations. I know first hand from my two cameras, that on an ordinary cloudy day walking around with my S5, I can take a good sharp hand held shot that will result in blurry camera shake on the SX10 - the slow lens problem is so much the worse on the SX30.
I will say that the reviews are reporting the "image stabilization" (the "IS" in the name) has really improved on the SX30 and there are some other features to compensate for the above problems, but do your research, and be sure about whether you will need to pack a tripod and set it up to take those zoomy images you want, and whether you are willing to edit images in software to get rid of the chroma problem.

What digital camera has the most zoom?
joe m
is there a digital camera that has more zoom than the canon sx300is, it has a 35x optical and a 4x digital for a combined 140x.
Answer
Well, throw out any digital zoom. It is nothing more than cropping an already small sensor. Better results can be had by cropping the image produced by the optical zoom later in post production.
Most of the "super zoom" P&S cameras have a range from 24x to 35 x, plenty until you can eventually afford a real dSLR with interchangeable lenses, a huge sensor (15 times larger than a P&S) and complete control over the exposures of the images
At present, the Nikon P100, Kodak Z981 and Pentax X90 have 26 x optical zoom lenses, the Fujifilm HS10 with a 30 x optical zoom and the Canon SX300 with its nice 35x optical zoom have the longest zoom reach.
The reason for choosing extended zoom lens P&S cameras is because you cannot use other lenses, what you buy, is what you will have until you buy a new P&S with a longer zoom or buy a dSLR and start investing in lenses.
