how strong its zooming is ?

This is a basic, basic telescope I got for my 6 year old daughter. The zooming is not very high. It has two glass magnification pieces which are 6mm and 12mm respectively. In my opinion, its good for seeing the moon, but if your interest is more than that, it may not work for you.

I am not sure. My husband used it. We sent it back. It showed the object upside down and it was defected.

The zoom isn't too bad. I can see the moon very clear and the crators if the sky is clear. But you cannot zoom in as close as you would like. I'm happy with the zoom myself since it's a simple telescope.

Yes, my experience with the zoom has been very positive. It is very fluid and steady. Love the range on this camera. Takes amazing photos.

No this is cannot be zoomed. I am not sure if something of this brightness has a zoom feature.

No it is not zoomable but with 3 settings of light H,M,L, works good. It is better if you get the extension to add a 3rd battery for longer lighting.

It does zoom good but to zoom in on flowers or bugs you would have to be pretty close.

The touchpad is small and it has a scroll slider on the bottom. I don't think you could zoom in and out or anything else on it. It's got a good sensitivity level for me. I've never thought it too sensitive or not sensitive enough. I still really like it. The one problem is hitting side keys or the mouse when typing but you just have to watch what you're typing.

I have bought two on two different occasions. The zoom feature on both was very tight and worked perfectly. There was not wiggle at all. BTW, I plan to purchase some more as Xmas presents.

I would say yes. When you apply the zoom option, the beam get smaller and focused, creating a brighter effect.

Yes it can, and it works very well. I'm very amazed by the zoom quality still.

Have used this feature quite a bit and have to be careful not to touch the subject, thats how close you can get. I also like that you can then still zoom in on the photo afterwards and get even more magnified without losing any significant resolution. I have actually used this feature like a low powered microscope to see objects and organisms close up and in detail.

Not sure. Mine never worked properly and the zoom function was non-functional.

Yes there is a zoom. The 170, 127, 90 is only in reference to the wide angle settings. These control how much of the scene is in view from side to side. The actual zoom to control how close the object is to you is available on this unit.

It has 40x optical zoom, I haven't used it extensively, but it was satisfactory.

As it has a variable power setting, it will really depend on at what range you intend to use it. The field of view on it's lower power is quite wide but natuaraly narrows as you zoom in. For mid power of about 5x or so, I would descibe the viewing agle as wide.

I use a 5d mk3 with a medium L zoom lens on this device. Support is fine because the nodal point is also a good balance point. The position click stops are not as robust as I would like. Otherwise I find it sturdy and workable.

More than a 500 equivalent zoom and great image stabilization. You'll still have to be within 10 or 20 yards. The view is sort of like that you get through a set of not too powerful binoculars. But the image stabilization is good enough that you can forget the tripod most of the time. I wouldn't take it in a boat. So much better than anything around 6 or 8 years ago. There are lots of cameras with better specs, but I think it's adequate and unbeatable at the price.

The zoom is really excellent. The only issue is image stability without any type of tripod, but that isn't the fault of the camera.
