We Hope Samsung%u2019s New 5x Optical Zoom Lens Ships With the Galaxy Note 10 %u2013 Droid Life. As any serious photographer will tell you, the big advantage in lugging an SLR around these days is the ability to get glass that has optical zoom. I carry a Canon around with a 35mm to 400 mm compact zoom that can put me right on a subject hundreds of yards away. Until now, we have been stuck with cameras that, although the sensors are collecting a lot of data, are looking through lenses that can't zoom optically. They are limited to digital, computer generated, zoom that creates degraded images at distance. Boo. Hiss. If the new Samsung Note 10 actually includes a 5X optical zoom, I will run, not walk, to the bank to get the money. Please, Samsung, please, please.
