I was just wondering.. I'm considering purchasing a Nikon D40 or Canon 100D as I'm becoming more and more interested in photography, but still at an amateur level.
How far do the lenses zoom? Such as an 18-50mm lens? How far do that zoom in real life? Like 35x optical zoom on standard digital cameras..
Thanks for answering.
Have a lovely day.

It is a little confusing when trying to compare them to point and shoot camera lenses. You can have various lenses that are all 3x zoom but will give you vastly different fields of view. For example the 18-55mm kit lens is a 3x zoom as is a 100-300mm. The 18-55 goes from a slight wide angle to a slight telephoto. The 100-300mm is a long telephoto lens.
To get the point more we need to start with a lens that would be considered normal or what the eye sees. For either of those cameras normal would be about 35mm. Anything longer than that is telephoto. Anything shorter is wide angle. So for example a lens that was 200mm would give you a field of view that was about 5.5x closer than your eye sees. An 18mm lens would give you a field of view that looked twice as far away as your naked eye would see.
There really isn't any lens that will give you the equivalent of a 35x zoom. The closest your going to get is an 18-200mm which would give you a 11x zoom lens. Tamron makes an 18-270mm lens which would be 15x zoom. The downside with these long zoom range lenses is that there are a lot of compromises involved in making a lens like this. They are not going to be optically as good a having a couple of shorter range zoom lenses.
I hope this helps.

whats the difference between point and shoot cameras and DSLR cameras? and what about high zoom?
MUAH**lol
?? lol
thankss
Answer
Point and shoot cameras are all one piece digital cameras designed for everyday users. They are small and most functions (focus, speed, etc) are adjusted automatically. A Digital SLR camera is bigger and more complex, suited for professionals or photography enthusiasts. You can switch out lenses, filters, flashes, and other accessories based on current needs. High zoom is a marketing term (usually on upper end point and shoot cameras). It just means that the camera has a more powerful than normal optical zoom. For example a point and shoot camera might have a 20x optical zoom instead of the standard 3x. However, these come nowhere close to some optional lenses for DSLRs which can be many times more powerful.
