What’s the difference between 3x and 11x zoom?
For example a 18-55mm lens would have a 3x optical zoom, and a 18-200mm lens would have a 11x optical zoom. Is that right? The “times zoom” notation is simply the big number divided by the small one, so the examples you give are correct. “3x zoom” simply means the longest focal length is three times the shortest.
How much optical zoom do I need for my camera?
You will need a great deal of optical zoom, at least 10x. If you’re taking single subject pictures without much interest in the surroundings, then a narrow perspective camera with 10x or 15x optical zoom is excellent in getting the right kind of detail, like the lion’s eyes or the eagle’s beak.
