What is the maximum zoom?

You get 2 lenses. The smaller one 10-30 and the larger one 30-110. With the larger one I can go pretty close up on an item from far. And the quality of the picture is still good. Hope this helps

Just looked at mine at I would say it zooms up to about 18 feet ... So go example I zoomed right in on something and had it crystal clear and it was 18 feet away.... Hope that helps?

A zoom is lens that allows the focal length (magnification) to be changed continuously over a range. For example, a 25 - 100 mm zoom provides magnifications from 0.5X (wide-angle) to 2X (telephoto).A telephoto lens is one that provides magnification greater than 1X. For example, a 200 mm lens gives 4X magnification. It can be a fixed focal length or a zoom lens.A super-telephoto is one that provides high magnification. Generally super-telephoto focal lengths are in the range of 300mm (6X) to 1200mm (24X).

Zoom is 55. you have to rest your hand on something or have a tripod otherwise everything is shaking you can't see anything

No it will not zoom. On high the batteries last about 3 hours. On low batteries last about 6 hours.

Cannot tell specifically. If you want large magnification, you need to insert the object inside the clear plastic area. It is not even half of stated zoom otherwise. It does a decent job for the price.

No issue with the full 20x optical zoom. Suggest that you run a test under ideal condition i.e. with the camera on a tripod. You will get degradation when using the digital zoom at or near the max zoom.

Yes there is a zoom. The 170, 127, 90 is only in reference to the wide angle settings. These control how much of the scene is in view from side to side. The actual zoom to control how close the object is to you is available on this unit.

It will not go to 500MM zoom, you have to use it on manual setting. This lens is more trouble then it is worth.

I don't think you can get the full 10x zoom, but you can get enough zoom, I wouldn't recommend it at a concert, the pictures come out a little blurry, it's meant to be used underwater, pictures underwater come out really good.

The 18-250 is the highest powered zoom currently on the market for Pentax DSLRs, at 13.9X. If you want higher magnification, look for lens with greater than 250mm at the long end. Several popular lens include the Tamron and Sigma 70-300, the Pentax 55-300, and if you have the cash, the Bigma 50-500. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, which you can research on dpreview.com 50mm is about what the naked eye sees. So anything less than 50mm will appear smaller, and further away. Wide angle lens can go as low as 10mm to capture as much as possible.

8x Optical Zoom and Up to 16x Clear Image Zoom... I think that is the digital zoom

Susan, With the zoom extended the camera will focus on anything between 9.8 feet and infinity. However, if you press the selector button to the left (little flower symbol) you can then choose the macro mode. Then the extended zoom will be able to focus on anything between 8.2 feet and 16.4 feet. In this same macro mode, the wide angle (lens not extended at all) will allow you to focus on anything between 2.8 inches and 9.8 feet. If you press the selector to the left (little flower symbol) and then select super macro mode, you can focus from .4 inches to 3.3 inches, but the lens has to be at wide angle--not zoomed at all. Normally, without selecting super macro, the wide angle (not zoomed) will allow you to focus on anything between 17.7 inches (1.4 feet) and infinity. So, for close-ups of flowers: Normal wide angle focus is 17.7 inches to infinity. Wide angle (with macro mode selected) focus is 2.8 inches to 9.8 feet. Wide angle (with super macro mode selected) focus is .4 inches to 3.3 inches. I suggest the wide angle macro or super macro modes because, with the lens fully extended, it will be difficult to avoid blurring the object because of the magnified camera shake/vibrations. I hope this helps.

If you mean in 35mm terms, then it would be like a 90 mm to 350 mm given that the sensor format is half the size of 35 mm. If you mean zoom factor, then it would be 175mm/25mm = 7X since the normal lens for this format would be 25 mm. 7X zoom doesn't sound like much in this day of mega-zoom point-and-shoots, but because of the resolution available, even under low light with the ISO bumped up, you can crop quite aggressively and still have a very nice image. I shot birds in deep shade the Amazon at ISO 6400, cropped, and you would never guess it.

I very much like the zoom, which allows so much flexibility. I do use it at full zoom quite a bit, though.

It does not zoom. It's fixed at 25mm, which is equivalent to 50mm in 35mm lens terms. At that focal length, it's a perfect all around lens - street shooting, medium portraiture, it can do it all. Quite sharp, I think. Like it a lot.

I have the exact same question. Please do post your findings. I am confused too. Apparently 18-200 is supposed to have larger zoom but I want to make sure that the quality of 18-200 matches to 18-135 at the least upto 135 mm. If so i will go with 18-200 for sure.
