Hey,

The XS is very good, you should take it!

Here's a post called 'Buying a DSLR, what's important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to buy - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html

Good luck! The site has many more tutorials, tips, reviews and guides!

What is the optical zoom of the DSLR I am interested in?

I am interested in buying a DSLR lens before Christmas and came across the "18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens". Now no matter how hard I look there is absolutely no mention anywhere on the web of how far it can optical zoom. Why can't they simply specify how much it needs to zoom and how can I calculate how much a lens could zoom in the future. All help appreciated. Thanks.

Answer
You really need to educate yourself about focal lengths, not 'zoom', if considering buying a dSLR. Luckily, there is plenty of information available on the internet. Here are just three links (of the many that are available) that will help you understand...
