Then 4x optical. (ie: Canon A510)
Recently i've seen more 5x optical cameras and one 6x.
What's the theoretical maximum optical zoom for a compact camera?
Not to mention, the size of the shirt pocket!Originally posted by: Fiveohhh
You couldn't get an exact number. Would depend on how thick the camera is, how much of that thickness can be used for optics, how far the lens telescopes out and quality of the optics.
