I own the camera with just a standard lense. I want somewhat of a zoom lense w/o breaking the bank. Any advise? thank you, jason

I chose a Sony camera with an A-mount and found my 28-200mm lens in a thrift store (the lens came with a 1980's Minolta) REALLY cheap.

Thank you for your response. I seem to do OK with close up but longer focal lengths give me a hard time. I may send it in just for them to check it out. I like the camera but I havent ever been so stymied before.

What lenses do you own now and what's your budget? Are you asking for a longer telephoto lens or a single-lens-solution that covers a bigger range?

It comes with a zoom lense, but the lense is not that great to take pictures beyond 10 or 15 feet. You can also buy it without a lense

I have been looking into buying one of the two as well. One of my interests is birds. The have the highest zoom Nikon 36 zoom and canon 35 zoom and all in one piece. Does anyone use either for birding?Thank you!

Thanks everyone for your help. You've explained a lot and it really helps. After your explanations, I looked at my past photos. I'm thinking that maybe the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 will fill my needs. Thanks again.

Yeah the biggest complaint for the SX200IS was the automatic flash every time. I'm gonna wait to see if that has been fixed in the SX210IS before I go ahead an order. Looks like a great improvement in every other area!I'm glad I held out on getting my super-zoom point and shoot! Within the last few weeks Nikon, Fujifilm, Canon, and Panasonic all announced their Spring 2010 models. There are some real good options out there!

Go to zoomed. Com and contact customer service. I needed lens and aircrft cable so I emailed asking how to buy these items and they sent me them free of charge in under a week.

You probably need to check the technical information. I recently purchased this camera and have been very happy with it. To a novice user, it doesn't appear that you can add a lense.

I could not find a way to use it. It did work very well with the non-zoom lens setting. I did have to remove the camera strap when I used this & use a strap on the housing. I hope that this answers your questions, I'm glad that I bought it.

Well, it's just the size of the sensor troubles me. What kind of picture is this going to take at even a 400 ISO? Nevermind 800 or higher.I just wonder if it's worth getting a camera this big when the sx200IS can be had for almost half the price, it's way easier to carry, and when you add the chdk firmware, will be almost as functional.I suppose if this were to be your only camera, but personally, I'd like to see what they do with the Rebel, either later this year or next. Or if I have a "rich uncle die", buy the 5D Mark II ;-)

The camera came with they call a "kit" lens. I purchased a 50mm lens additionally. I haven't even used the kit lens yet, because I was really longing for the 50mm! I should probably try it out. I'm pleased with my older model, used camera - don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

The zoom lens that comes with the camera is adequate for most shots. If you do many shots requiring a longer range, you might want to consider an auxiliary lens.

You spent over $3000 for a great camera. A cropped lens will only give you the middle of your full frame sensor. If you want an all purpose zoom spend a few hundred more and get a full frame lens. Like the 28-300. You wanted and could afford full frame, use lenses that bring out the best in your camera. Wish I had your budget.

Hi. I think that if you are looking for a point and shot like that, it is better to buy a DSLR entry level and consider buying a lens zoom, at the same time or when you can. You will appreciate my advice.

The lens that comes with this camera is perfect for you then. And the battery lasts longer than you think. I bought a bunch and did not need to. Just keep an eye on it and keep it charged. Enjoy.
