10X Zoom would be equal to what MM for a Nikon Lens?

Looking at buying an SLR, I have a fuji camera that has a zoom of 10X… Now i know its not the same sort of zoom but i need to make sure I have or get a lens that will offer more then the 10X zoom on my fuji

Added (1). If something like a 18-250mm has 13.88X why would I go drop a bunch of money on a lens when I can get something like the Fuji HS10?

Added (2). Yeah, The thing is I need the big zoom for what I like to shoot

How about a 11x?

18-200 mm VR or 28-300 mm VR

X magnification factor on DSLR zooms are totally irrelevant - you buy the right lens to do the right job. It's not the 'one size fits all' concept of point & shoot cameras.

Depends on your Fujifilm camera you started with. A 10x zoom can only zoom 10x from its base focal length, so if you started with 35mm, you can zoom to 350mm. However, if you have a wideangle camera like my F70, you will start at 27mm and end at 270mm.

A good recommendation would be the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 lens. It offers more than 10x zoom, if that is your idea. It is equivalent to 27-300mm in 35mm film. I would recommend the D7000 together with the lens mentioned

10x zoom means nothing unless you know the widest focal length. The 10x bit on it's own doesn't mean a great deal.

So take my Lumix TZ7 for example. Its widest setting is 25mm. If I multiply that by 12 you get 300. That means my Lumix has a (35mm equivalent) focal length of 25-300mm.

In terms of DSLRs I guess something very close to this then would be a 28-300mm lens (10.7x)

If you right-click on a photo you've taken with the camera you have at full zoom, then go to Properties and click the Details tab, you should be able to see the 35mm focal length equivalent in the properties listed there. That will give you an idea of what lens to get for an SLR to get similar pictures.

As far as buying lenses for an SLR goes, you'd drop a bunch of money on a single lens because that lens is going to last you a lifetime. The Fuji HS10 looks like a good camera, but that lens is attached for good. You can't take it off and put it on a newer camera body in a few years when you need a camera with higher resolution or a better image sensor. I've got a couple of lenses in my kit that are over 40 years old, and they work as well as my newer Nikon lens does.

If zoom is your main concern rather than quality, go for the Fuji HS10. If not, get a DSLR camera and forget about high-zoom lenses as those lenses are usually lower quality than ones that don't zoom as much.

You should go with Fujifilm FinePix HS10 10 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 30x Wide Angle Optical Zoom and 3-Inch LCD
