Let’s talk one camera feature.
When you’re getting ready to purchase a digital camera, one of the problems that people run into is that there are SOOOO many options. Which ones matter and which ones don’t.
As with most questions in life, “it all depends”.
However, in taking Newfie pictures over the years, I have found that some features become pretty important. One that I use all the time is the telephoto lens.
Telephoto lenses work like a binocular.
There is your darling kitty happily sleeping in the basket across the family room. “Oh he’s so cute. Quick darling (she always calls me darling) take his picture.” What cat? Oh, way over there?
I could walk over, but that might wake him up and I want the picture with him sleeping. Whatever can I do?
To the rescue comes the telephoto lens.
On my pocket size Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3, I have a 10x mechanical zoom built in. I just posted two pictures, one Zoomed out all the way (what cat?) and one shot from the same spot zoomed all the way in.

It’s great to have zoom when you want to take pictures of a dog in the ring and you have to stay on the outside. I like my 10x zoom. It was one of the things that I looked for when I purchased the camera.
Geek Peek: Please note that I’m talking about “Optical” zoom here rather than software zoom. Two different things.
