camera optical zoom
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.

Minolta's MN53Z Bridge Camera features a long-reaching 53x zoom along with versatile recording capabilities in a small and compact body. Its 16.35MP BSI CMOS sensor enables high-resolution stills shooting and HD 1080p 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 24-1256mm 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 212x magnification. Optical image stabilization helps minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, which can be paramount when shooting at extremely long focal lengths. The rear of the camera features a 3.0" 460k-dot LCD monitor for easy review and composition of your images.Top comment"Has a lot of features....most specially the 54X Optical Zoom.

Capturing moments is important. But, it’s also not always easy. Being the family photographer often requires you to pause the moment, asking everybody to pose, making sure everyone is in the frame, and even if all that goes well the person behind the camera doesn’t get to be in the picture. Canon PICK changes all this and more. By ensuring that you record experiences as they happen organically, genuinely. No posing, no pausing—just candid memories that can last forever.PICK's unique algorithm has been years in the making, with a dedicated app to get the image just right. It will automatically* search for faces and smiles while adjusting the composition of the frame with its Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) mechanism. The camera captures and records moments while you’re enjoying them and you don’t have to do anything, no timers, no clicking, no posing—just living in the moment.Top comment"Very Interesting Concept - Great Camera...The lens is an 11.7 megapixel quality capable of taking 1080JPEG, HEIF, RAW and MP4 formats while videos are of full 1080p quality.
