Viral Video Lets You Read the Logo on an Airplane Thanks to the Camera’s 200X Zoom Capability

The short video below should help explain why the latest superzoom cameras are so popular, as you get both a wide view where a FedEx airplane is barely visible, and a tight shot where you can actually read the logo on the plane's fuselage.

The Nikon Coolpix P900, for example, boasts a built-in 24-2000mm, 83X optical zoom, with an additional 166X digital zoom capability that essentially doubles that range. But even less ambitious cameras like Canon’s PowerShot SX50 will take you to 200X when you combine that camera’s 50X optical zoom with its 4X digital zoom feature.

We’re not sure what camera Korean photographer MichaelHrd used to capture the striking video below, but the results are quite astounding. After watching the video, check out our earlier story demonstrating the 83X Zoom power of the Nikon Coolpix P900.
