Lecture 15: Cameras & Lenses (17)

In essence, does increasing focal length cause zooming in, which decreases field of view? Am I understanding this correctly in that the two seem inversely related, where if one goes up, the other goes down or shortens?

I believe so as we move the sensor closer to the lens we would see more of the image.

On a separate note, to me it is very impressive to see the zoom on some of these cameras. I remember growing up playing around with small 2 or 4 mp cameras around my house, and even in good lighting condition I would get blurry images that I could not zoom in on. Now, it's crazy to see a camera as shown here that has impressive range of zoom and high level of detail.
