The Panasonic HDC-SD60S Series attributes a 25x optical zoom and an Intelligent Zoom function that goes all of the way up to 35x. When applying Intelligent Zoom, Intelligent Resolution engineering lets you shoot at substantial zoom rates though preserving the image resolution. You receive sharp pictures of very thorough objects — not having the blurry edges. Plus, Energy O.I.S. suppresses even slight hand-shake, which can be a must for extreme zooming, simply because of its substantial susceptibility to hand-shake.
