Default 100x Optical Zoom!

Whoa..."Target" http://www.target.com has scooped the digicam media:

Target - Fujifilm FinePix SL1000 16MP Digital Camera with 100x Optical
Zoom - Black

This should come as a huge surprise to everyone (Fuji, especially).

I guess Target flipped the optical zoom (50X) and digital zoom (100X)
in their interpretation of the specs.

Today (Thursday, 5-9-13), on its Web site, I contacted Target about the
error. I received an e-mail reply, saying that "any necessary
corrections" will be made.

I'm sure you're right. But it's not impossible - see

http://www.fujifilm.eu/uploads/tx_ff.../XA101x_01.pdf

And it goes out to 1800mm with a teleconverter. Suitable for a 2/3"
sensor. With a bit of engineering it could be attached to a digicam.
Maybe not for handheld use though...

The corrections were finally made; I just noticed, today (Thursday,
