Other than viewing sample clips posted here and elsewhere of various cameras, how can I determine how far out a specific zoom range will be useful?
Is there a chart or grid or some formula for determining how far out a 4x zoom can see and clearly capture detail vs. say a 30x zoom?
For example, If I only want to see to the end of my driveway buying a 30x is surely too much camera but if I want to see small details 200 yards away maybe it is not enough?
