Can you get a larger zoom on this camera?

Yes....There is an "add-on" zoom lens available for the G10. I think it would fit the later models, too. Lens is the same size.

I know the lens can be removed but to my knowledge there no optional lenses

You can get a Canon TC-DC58E Tele-Converter 1.4X for $180.00 but you also need the LA-DC58L conversion lens adapter for $37.00 to use it. Both are available at B&H Photo.

The zoom is amazing for what I use the camera for, getting pictures of wildlife. I have not used the 100x clear image so I can't comment on it. I already have more than 2000 pictures with the 50x zoom and will continue using it until a larger zoom is available.

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.

Sorry for taking so long to answer-- the lens on the camera should turn allowing you to zoom in and out. Hope this helps.

No it is not zoomable but with 3 settings of light H,M,L, works good. It is better if you get the extension to add a 3rd battery for longer lighting.

Not sure. Mine never worked properly and the zoom function was non-functional.

That is a great question. I tried to figure that out by checking the difference camera modes without success. I pushed E-Zoom on the top behind the zoom toggle button which bumped up the digital zoom to 16X. However, the digital zoom was inaccessible for me, also.I am sure that it is some simple solution....

because the lens is a medium telephoto, no, and there is no zoom in or out feature I can find. extension cords are available to place the camera farther away.

Because it's not possible...that's why. The optical zoom is what it is. If it's a 10x optical zoom, that's all you're going to get. The reviewer mentioned that she bought the camera and had no (nada) photo experience. If you are getting more than the optical rating it's because the camera is going into the digital zoom realm...

no you can not unfortunately, I wish you could but I have a small driveway where my camera is set up and you can see really good all the way to the end of the driveway, its a really nice camera but it would be a lot nicer if it did focus and zoom, but it doesn't, hope that answers your question, its still worth buying tho, its a lot better than most cameras out there.

Yes it can, and it works very well. I'm very amazed by the zoom quality still.

Yes, but you will have to zoom at 15mm or 16mm, Why not take the full frame version, 16-28

Nope- its a horrible camera. I had the same problem. The only way to zoom is move the camera itself.

No it will not zoom. On high the batteries last about 3 hours. On low batteries last about 6 hours.

The zoom is amazing. As for wide its goes wide like other cameras. But doesnt do any kind of panoramic that i can tell. Just put it on a stand and turn camera slightly after each shot and you can make your own panoramic.

Yes, I would thinks so. There is no zoom option. This camera is ideal for cars, motorcycles, bicycles, skate & surf boards, skiing, etc. There is a lot of info on their website and a newer version of the camera came out recently.
