Does anyone know what a digital SLR camera lens of 40mm-150mm is equal to in a optical zoom?
Does anyone know what a digital SLR camera lens of 40mm-150mm is equal to in a optical zoom in a digital point and shoot camera?
It will depend on the point and shoot. Most point and shoots start at around 36mm or 38mm wide (35mm equivalent). To be able to cover the equivalent of 150mm, they would need to be about a 4x zoom.
However, some point and shoots are a little wider to start off with, at 28mm. To be able to cover 150mm, you’d need over a 5x zoom (5.36x). Thus, a 6x zoom would be needed on those cameras. Note also that a 4x zoom on these wider cameras would only cover to 112mm vs. a 4x zoom on a camera not as wide, which will cover to 150mm. (ex: 4x28mm=112mm vs. 4x38mm=152mm).
You need to check the point and shoot specs, specifically for the lens and see what the 35mm equivalents are.
Hope this helps.
