LX3X: Hola Gente: One question, how about that 2.5x Optical Zoom when reality is from 18 to 20x and more in a few months?

With current technologies big zoom range requires a tiny sensor and mediocre optics. There is plenty of such junk on the market. This camera is for people who prioritize quality over zoom range. Also because of the higher quality output the picture is often usable after significant cropping. So in the end it is more or less comparable to 4x zoom on most other compacts.

Hi Anthony,The correct magnifications are 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x and 3x. The magnifications in the current video needs to be updated. We sincerely apologize for any confusion.

Sure thing (I was somehwat surprised to see this thread started from 2008 again). The 17-55 is a real treat in low light, I think you'll love it!

It sounds like 5x is right for you if 10x is too much. My 18-year old daughter loves the 5x. However, I'm over 50 and need the 10X since my eyesight is not what it used to be.

This has 30x ~ 60x. It's great as a spotting scope at 30x, and I can imagine using it to view game at long ranges at the 30x setting, but that would be quite difficult . . . the field of view is much too small for the hunting I've done (30x is just too much magnification).

The level of magnification is about 2x. Remember that this is just a cheap alternative to Zacuto.

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

It is 2.8 at 50mm and 3.5 at 200.The scale is fairly linear - it is about f3.0 at 135mmSharpest at f4 and still quite sharp wide open.

You could but the field of view at maximum zoom would be extremely small. Also the quality of the optics are probably not going to deliver the clarity you desire

This is not a zoom lens, its a short telephoto. For your purposes a 18-200 f/3.5 will do nicely.

No se si funciona para una Canon 1dx, yo la coloque en una canon 7D con el grip para batería extra y funciona perfectamente. No creo que cambien mucho la medida con una Canon 1DX. Lo recomiendo ofrece una excelente estabilidad, tiene buena construcción y queda muy firme en la camara!!!

This camera does Zoom-in up to 6x's but it becomes a bit blurry so you may have to make some adjustments.

I agree with Lynn C.'s remark, including the reference to flash. But I love this camera, which I've had for more than two years. I've also given away a couple of Panasonic models very similar to this, but with less optical zoom power.

Amendment to my previous answer. At 64X zoom, the effective resoluion may closer to 4 megapixels, not 1 megapixel. I was just experimenting with the camera at 64X and the images aren't bad, but they absolutely do require a well-lit subject!

I don't hate my Panasonic LX3, but if this new Canon SX200 had a faster lens, I would ditch the LX3 in a heartbeat and get the SX200. I guess I'll just wait until the reviews and photo samples come out.

The Eyeclops only zooms in 200 times...older version and more expensive, go figure?!?!?! The Eyeclops Multiezoom magnifies up to 400 times and is the newer version but way cheaper.
