What is the difference between optical zoom and digital zoom on a digital camera?
I want to be able to zoom in and take clear pictures, so do I buy a camera with more optical or digital zoom?
get optical zoom. optical zoom is a real zoom, where the lenses make the image larger. digital zoom is taking the whole picture, selecting a small part of that, and then enlarging that part without an increase in picture quality.
