Has anyone tried adding a 5X optical zoom on Sony's S85. I'm getting ready to buy one, but have no idea if the zoom will allow me to photograph large wildlife animals that are 100 yards from the camera. :shock:

You'll be much better off, in terms of image quality, cost and convenience, to buy an Olympus C-730 (10x optical zoom) with a 1.5x converter.
