Re: New ZS100 owner with questions

Long zoom focal lengths are not the intended primary use for this camera, I have dslr's with tele lenses, and a Nikon P900 for the wildlife stuff. It's just part of learning my way around a new toy and knowing what its limits are so I can know how far I can push it in case something interesting comes up that is actually out of its league.  This is intended to be a easy packing, vacation, family stuff, hobbies, etc., camera. The one you take when you don't want to pack anything  bigger.  On the zoom, I have pretty well settled on keeping i.zoom in play, but not using the digital zoom or the  reduced image size crop in camera application.  Just for grins, the cat happened by when I was testing today, so grabbed a shot at full optical, with i.zoom, then cropped in computer to make it approximately 750mm FF equivalent focal length. Not earthshaking, but would do in a pinch if a big buck whitetail walked out and the ZS100 was all I had in hand.
