For the most part digital zoom is useless - OK, a bit of an exaggeration but all a digital zoom does is make the pixels bigger - so yes, it appears zoomed but the image quality drops. The software interpolates to smooth things out. Not sure, but the lack of optical zoom may be the result of trying to waterproof the unit as optical zooms rely on moving lenses in some fashion. . I'd want a minimum of 3x optical zoom on a point and shoot.
