The Cannon Powershot has both and optical and digital zoom features. Optical zoom is far superior to digital zoom.

Zoom.co.uk has closed down, all accounts are being disabled, and any data left in the accounts are gone. I phoned the zoom helpline number (0845 333 3371) today, 20 March 2008. This is the helpline for easynet, who provided zoom's bandwidth and servers. The helpdesk guy told me that Zoom claims to have sent out notices to everyone two weeks in advance, though they are getting lots of calls from people who did not see any notice. I didn't. Mail sent to your (dead) zoom account should bounce back to the recipient with a failure message. RIP zoom :-(

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZDA!!! zoom zoom!

Optical Zoom is the true zoom, Digital is basically the zoom in of what the highest optical zoom is. Therefore Optical Zoom is the better zoom, and gives a much clearer picture.
