Looking at the article, it says 14x optical zoom. According to Canon's page on the
SX210, the first feature listed is "Powerful 14x Optical Zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer."

The problem I have with non-digital cameras is that they eat film like crazy. I can't ever seem to get more than about 36 shots before I have to put in fresh film. And you can't recharge that stuff! You have to keep buying more.
