Zoom is the number people overpay for. Measure from where the camera will sit to the person you'll film, then pick the smallest zoom that reaches.

How to measure

Stand where the camera will be mounted (usually the back wall or a balcony).
Measure to the pulpit, teacher or stage — a laser measure or counting floor tiles is fine.
Add a couple of metres if you want tighter head-and-shoulder shots.

When more zoom is worth it

If one camera has to cover both a wide shot of the stage and a tight shot of the speaker from the back of a long hall, go one step up. Otherwise the smaller zoom gives a brighter, steadier picture for less money.
