Stuff: Watch Stuff. Win Stuff. Daily.

The average point-and-shoot digital camera will give you 3x optical zoom, but the newest super-zoom from Olympus offers up an almost-creepy 30x. That's like taking your DSLR and attaching a lens that goes from a 28mm wide angle all the way to a super telephoto 840mm. That's longer than those big beige monsters you see on the sidelines at NFL games. Of course, at just $350 and with a body small enough to fit in your fanny pack, it's not quite ready to hit the sidelines, but if you bring it into the stands, it's probably long enough to catch Tim Tebow the next time he cries. It also shoots 720p HD video, but be sure to bring a tripod because tryin to hand-hold a camera zoomed to 30x will give you camera shake that makes Cloverfield look steady.
