I dont think this camera is right for me, I like to zoom it to things and I cant get this one to zoom in very much!. Will this camera do that or should I take this one back and get a different one!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The camera has interchangeable lenses, the camera body choice is probably OK!.
