Anyone know if the upcoming Epson Photopc 650 have an optical zoom? Like to know if I should wait or just buy the A50. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks

I checked with epson and they sent me a fact sheet on the 650 - NO OPTICAL ZOOM. The 800 has a 2X optical zoom. Personally, I'm going to wait for the 850.

The web site below describes the new Epson 650 and 800.

It says the 650 has 37mm threads so additional lenses can be added, so no optical zoom.

I agree with the previous comment. I am waiting on the 850 to come out so I can trade up from my 750z depending upon street price of the 850.
