Meaning when setting any lense to around 70mm the view you get will be very close to what you would normally see. So if you have a 24-70mm lense you not going to get any magnification beyond what you would normally see. And really, from 70mm to 105mm there really isn,t that much more zoom. When I shoot with my 70-200mm you would think that with a lense that size you could really pull in some distance between you and what ever subject you trying to shoot. At least thats what I assumed when I first started into photography. You do but not as much as I thought. But theres more to it when having An DSLR over a P/S, and the more you learn about how much more usefull having one over a P/S  the more you will appreciate it. The fact that you can grab your camera, turn it on and almost instantly take a photo is reason enough for most people to own one. I did a little experiment a while back. I was taking shots of my boy playing baseball and a mother came to me and asked. So why is having one of those better than the P/S she was holding. I told her to turn it off and we both turned our cameras on the same time and to take a shot as fast as we could. With my D3s I shot off about 30-40 shots by the time she was able to get off just one. Pretty important most of the time. And thats just the start of all the benefits you'll soon appreciate. But realize that a DSLR isnt necessarily better just differant.</blockquote>
