No, there is no such thing.
A “prime” lens is not a zoom, it is fixed focal length.

What Is The Digital Zoom Value Of A Prime Lens? Is There Such A Thing?
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Flash Memory Digital Camcorders?
Saturday, November 28th, 2009I’m a high school track coach and I’m looking for a new camcorder for practice and track meets. I came across these flash memory digital camcorders which seem very compact and cheap ($100-150). The digital zoom on these seems to be about 5-8x.
I was wondering if anyone has used these to capture athletic type video (track races, practice drills, etc.) and how do they perform. Are there any brands in that $100-150 range you preferred or any that were horrible. I’m mostly concerned with the video picture clarity when I’m trying to record a race and I’m 100-150 yards away in the bleachers and at the finish line.
This link will take you to the Best Buy website where some of these camcorders are listed:
