Hello !!!

Is there a better tele photo lens in terms of better zoom to far distance objects/view closer other than Canon's TC-DC58N for my G3 camera, especially when doing nature photography.

Any feedback will be appreciated with sample pictures. Thank you !!!

I think we are at the limit :( Someone suggested this once http://www.photosolve.com/main/product/opticzoom/index.html

I don't know anyone who has used it.

when you say limited, do you mean we are limited with G3 as far as zooming goes on a telephiote or a wide angle capacity ???

The TC-DC58N is a 1.75 lens or about 250mm equivalent, I don't know any other make of lens that is substantially longer.

That looks interesting. I've heard of the CrystalVue LX monocular (and saw some user posted images), but not this one. This seems to offer somewhat less magnification than the CrystalVue, but also seems much smaller. It's also more expensive though.

Anyway, better be prepared to use a tripod at all times w/ such high magnification. Also, you need to manually focus the monocular itself in addition to camera focus.
