I know D-slr is better in quality.I need high zoom camera how much would a high zoom d-slr lens would cost?
Answer
DSLR any day of the week.
DSLR lenses are not judged by their zoom levels, because they are quite meaningless in the content. For example a 200-400mm lens is only 2x zoom, but it is a great lens that costs a fortune and has a reach of something close to 20x on your point and shoot when used with DSLR (it becomes 300-600 equivalent in film terms).
Now that said - long telephoto lenses are expensive for dSLR. 55-200mm lens will cost you about $150 or $200 with a very desirable vibration reduction. Beyond that - a lot more. You will probably want a kit 18-55mm lens with your DSLR as well for the close shots. Just to compare 200mm at long end is something close to approximately 10x zoom on most p&s cameras.
So, you decide, but all in all - I'd opt for a dSLR with smaller lens than for an 18x p&s. The quality and versatility difference is just so tremendous! I'd consider a high zoom p&s as my second camera on a trip, if I really have to make that close-up, but only if dSLR also comes with me!

Can the camera body of a DSLR camera have optical zoom?
Aaron
Is the lens you put on a DSLR the only thing that determines the optical zoom or can the just camera body contribute to the zoom it has?
Answer
No, the body does not have optical zoom. Zoom is controlled by the lens. If you want a "super zoom" offering 10x or more zoom, you might be better served with $400-$600, super zoom point-n-shoot or bridge camera rather than going through the expense of a $450 DSLR and an $500-$800, 18-200mm or 18-250mm lens. Examples would include Canon's Powershot SX1, SX10 or Nikon's Coolpix L100 and P90.
Very few of the better DSLR lenses offer much more than 3x zoom. There are however 10x or better lenses like Nikon's 18-200mm VR lens that are very useful for general photography. Still, the whole point of a DSLR is the ability to use the right lens for the shot rather than being stuck with a lens that attempts to be a jack of all trades.
