Optical Zoom Digital
Posted on Monday, April 19, 2010 in Photography
What's the difference between Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom in digital cameras?
I know, Optical zoom is the one comes out of the camera and digital zoom doesn't. But other than that how are they diffrent which one do you recommend when I am thinking about buying a
5megapixel 5X digital zoom. or 5.1 Mega pixel w/ 3x Optical zoom.
the one with digital zoom is lik $119 and Optical zoom is 150
I am going to be using this camera for mostly family pictures and trips.
Optical Zoom is good- it's actually changing the focal length of the lens elements to zoom in.
Digital zoom is crappy- it's like having a picture on a TV screen and taking a smaller piece of it to zoom in- so your'e just enlarging it and magifying the pixels, not getting any better detail.
