All it does is blow up a section of the picture it will not add more pixels. So it becomes distorted. Optical zoom all the way. Or go DSLR, where you can change out the lenses for more zoom.

Which is why I quoted the 12x optical zoom featured on the camera... personally, I have the digital zoom function always turned off on my camera

All I'm trying to say is that Digital zoom is just marketing hype and shouldn't even be considered when buying a camera.
