Larger cameras can provide far greater zoom range, up to a factor of 12.

The zoom range is increased slightly to 26X.

A zoom range tells you the maximum and minimum magnification.

High image quality is assured throughout the entire zoom range.

And its great zoom range makes it a natural choice for birders, sports fans or anyone who has to capture a subject from far away.

The lens is particularly designed to be in focus through the whole zoom range of up to 5x*.

However, some zoom ranges have a poorer optical quality making them difficult to use in sharp focus.

However, size will often limit the zoom range that can practically fit inside the body.

The most notable feature is a 5x (37-222 mm) optical zoom range.

With a shorter zoom range, from 38 to 80 millimeters, you do not sacrifice picture quality.
