## Before you buy

- The listing is inconsistent about zoom, describing 16 x optical zoom in specifications but 16X digital zoom in the feature text. It also lists a 48 MP display resolution, which is unclear, and gives conflicting battery details: a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery is claimed, yet another field says one A battery is required and batteries are not included.
