Alrighty then, so i just got this new handy dandy camera with this nice super powerful zoom in a compact case. I took some pics around school today, ya prob looking like a tourist but i don't care =). So i took the first picture at 1x into the ocean. You can see a small white spec which you can't really make out. Then i zoomed in at full 10x optical zoom and guess what? you can see that its a boat. I really love the zoom function in this camera its so totally awesome! Check out the pics below let me know what you think. Assuming anyone is reading this blog
