I wanna try out DSLR, but I do not understand the lens specs.

How many times zoom is this lens? Optical or Digital?

just head on down to Harvey Norman and try the camera?

its a kit lens 18mm captures a wider area, while 55mm zooms into the subject.
we dont care how many times zoom there is, but rather the distance the lens can cover.
i tink 700+ is dirt cheap. that said, just go try it.

An 18-55mm lens is about 3x zoom range.


Similar to those you find on common PNS cameras.


To make your life easier on finding how many times zoom a particular lens offers, take the largest value of the lens, divided by the smallest value.


For example take reference to a 18-55mm standard kit lens.


55mm is the largest value and 18mm is the smallest value.


So take 55/18 = 3.0555.......

It's roughly about 3x optical zoom.


Hope it helps!

Thanks for the tip

Not a bad deal, but please get rid of the 18-55 II and look for a second hand 18-55 IS here, the image quality is far superior and you'll get IS, if you sell and buy here, shouldn't cost you more than an $80 investment overall.

Dirt cheap and most probably getting rid of their old stocks.
