Some cheeper cameras do that. They don't really zoom-in they crop the pictures. A20 meg picture in that camera can give you a 5 meg picture if you zoom it.
This makes absolutely no sense in this thread. What are you talking about?

My Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary locks on each mm number I stop but not in between the mm numbers.

I have the Nikon 200-500 and it creeps. I agree that it is annoying that the lens creeps when carried lens down.

Why is it that companies don't make zoom lenses that don't creep. Since all zooming is manual anyway why can't theyjust make zooming a little tighter. I would think that a "no creep" lens would be a good marketing thing. Maybe lens creep is a "creepy" name, all they would have to do is call the new build the "no slide" update. Charge a couple hundred more for the mark 2 version.
I have the Tamron 18-300 and the Tamron 150-600. Neither of them creep.

They do make them. EX Canon 100-400mm L MII.

Because tight zooming is zooming that causes a delay in getting the action. Best lens would be one that can be zoomed with one finger. But the creep would be serious.
Many lenses have a lock, but only at one or a couple of positions. Best is a friction lock that can be engaged at any zoom.
Panasonic has the friction lock, but they still made the zoom so tight it takes a full fisted grab of the lens to zoom it. Real shame.
My Nikon 200-500 has a pretty smooth zoom, but it has the other problem of too much turn to get from one end to the other. You can't do it in a single motion; usually takes me a couple of turns, especially if it's on a tripod.

The Canon 100-400mm L lens has that adjustment to control lens creep.

Because the companies that make zoom lenses (all of them) make no profit on the lenses but the profit on those free rubber bands to put around the lenses to stop creep, is what counts.

My first zoom lens was back in the film days. It was a Vivitar 70-210mm macro zoom. I wish they still made that lens for the digital SLR world.

I agree that you get what you pay for. None of my Canon L's creep, some of them 18 years old.
