How do I upgrade the lens of my canon powershot digital camera?
nicolerao83 asked:
I have a canon digital camera with a 4x optical zoom. what kind of lens do i look for to upgrade to higher zoom? I am pretty camera dumb but am getting into pics so want a camera that wont get blurry upon getting far a way pics.
I found telephoto lenses that are 3x does that mean that my new zoom would be 7x since I already have a 4x or does it replace what the camera already has? This is where I am getting confused.
First off, determine if your Canon Digital Camera has a detachable lens. If it does, then you look for a lens that has a Canon mount (compatible).
A 3X lens is a magnifier. What you look for is a lens with the zoom factor indicated in mm, for example: 28mm-70mm. The zoom factor does not add. When you mount a zoom lens, it is the only lens so there is no cumulative effect.
When looking at digital camera specs, ignore digital zoom. Optical zoom is merely magnifying the subject. Optical zoom is the key. Optical can be related to using a telescope. It brings the subject closer.
