[QUOTE="deftones1976, post: 155415, member: 14464"] I took delivery of a Nikon D7000 18-105mm VR camera yesterday, it's my first DSLR and expectations were very high! I was playing about with it last night and was trying to zoom in on certain objects say 10ft away to see how impressive the zoom was - well I must be doing something very wrong as the pictures I've taken of objects less than 10ft away appear no larger than if you we're looking with the naked eye. I've turned the zoom so it's fully extended and played about with the focus ring, and I'm totally confused as to why I'm not able to zoom in close on objects only a very short distance away, even my old Canon powershot could zoom in better than this so now wondering why I've spent £800! Clearly I'm doing something wrong or the camera is faulty, I don't see which it can be so any advice would be appreciated. Like I said I'm a total newbie to DSLR cameras so keep it simple :-) thanks [/QUOTE]
