That's not optical zoom, or even digital zoom. It's the amount you can zoom in on the preview image. 10x optical zoom is a selling point for P&S cameras not (D)SLR. And yes, the K10D has a 20x preview image zoom. Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
