[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 1108719, member: 10391"] I have a Cannon VIXIA HFR42 which is 32 optical and 53X advanced zoom. I use the camera all the time but haven't used it for things way out there much. But while playing with it once you start to zoom a tri-pod is necessary. At full power I can't hold it still enough and it is difficult finding the object in the view finder. Tried zooming in on my horses free hand that were at my 450 yard target and it was really hard to get them. I made a handle that screws into the tri-pod mount and that really helps but at full zoom still difficult. But I really like the camera and try to keep it close all the time. Had to buy some new editing software (Cyberlink) because of the ACHD format. The video it produces is really high quality but the file size is huge and needs to be edited down to upload to the internet. [/QUOTE]
