camera optical zoom

No content

Best Buy customers often prefer the following products when searching for camera optical zoom.

When you need to get closer to your subject without physically moving—whether it's a bird in a tree or the stage at a concert—optical zoom is the way to go. It uses the lens itself rather than cropping the image in software, so you don't lose any detail. If you're going to be shooting from a distance, the optical zoom is your best friend.

    Product Description

    Minolta's MN67Z Bridge Camera features a long-reaching 67x optical zoom along with versatile recording capabilities in a small and compact body. Its 20.68MP BSI CMOS sensor enables high-resolution stills shooting and 1080P FHD video recording with low noise and sensitivity from ISO 100-3200 as well as SD 640x480p video in high-speed 120 fps. The expansive zoom covers a 23.4-1568mm equivalent focal length range for working with subjects both near and far and is complemented by a 4x digital zoom that sets the combined total at 268x magnification.

    Top comment

    "Great Camera...Has a lot of features....most specially the 54X Optical Zoom. Feedback on this camera: - charging needs to be done with the camera - no info on how to order replacement/spare batteries - usb-c cover looks weak - small plastic holds the battery in place - 16 Megapixel max for pictures Other than those above...it does a great job of taking pictures. ...And there should be a way to have the flash on for every interior photo, instead of the auto flash feature. The zoom works well for longer distance shots. The battery can take several hundred shots before running out. "
