Lense telephoto limitations

Does the 13x lens leave you longing for more?

I shoot a lot of back of the room conference type work. Love the HMC150 but concerned about telephoto limitations.

I'd also like to shoot sports in the future.

What has been your experience?
 
I have been having a hard time with the zoom range of the camera. I shoot a lot of presentations for a school district, so I have to be at the back of halls when I shoot. That being said, everything else about this camera makes me forgive that. I'll probably just get a tele adapter at some point. I do miss the AG-DVC30 for this type of shooting.
Sports- you'll love what you get out of the HMC150.
 
i wish it was at least 17x. i do find the zoom range lacking but i do as well on my EX1. i do like the wide end though!

for the money spent on the HMC150 i wont complain though. i love this camera and like the above poster says you can always buy an adaptor.

one thing i do sometimes on the 150 and EX1 is shoot at 1080p and edit in a 720p timeline. it comes in at 67%. i will zoom in up to 100% to get a little more out of it. almost every thing i do is in a 720p format so i can live with the work around technique.
