Yes, the Optio WP has a 3x optical plus a 4x digital zoom. Your question 
worried me because I just ordered one. I checked my downloaded copy of the 
camera manual and it clearly specifies the 3x optical zoom. You can get the 
manual at pentaxusa.com.

As other posters have said, digital zooom is essentially worthless. You can do 
the same thing by cropping the image in the computer.
