In my retirement living on a sail boat for nearly 14 years cruising BC waters many wild wonders have gone by without photo. For all those years I have a 1/2 doz pics. Family friends frequently ask about the lifestyle so I decided to learn video editing to post vids on youtube... convenient for all to see and is working out very well. I have a go pro hero7 cam ...does a great job. However there is no zoom and (for example) I missed out recording an eagle kill on a seal which was an unbelievable revelation of the power and guts of an eagle. Just wondering about a (as compact as possible, as I do a lot of backpacking) optical zoom camera without all the wifi crap. I would need this camera only from time to time to catch some of the amazing scenes that the go pro just can't get close enough. Most of the situations that I wish I had a zoom were in the vicinity of under 200 yards. Many thanks in advance....
