Since digital zoom produces inferior image quality why not have only optical zoom in digital cameras?

since digital cameras at the simpler end have to compete on price, makers tend to use digizoom first.A zoom lens is a bit dearer. If you only use a bit of digizoom results can be fair, but are better if you have LOADS of pixels to start with.And the 'usual' alteration in perspectives from tele to wide don't happen in digital-all looks the same.

3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom are standard features on most mid-range pocket digital cameras. A better optical zoom capability would be 6x or 8x optical. The digital zoom capability can be ignored, since all it does is crop and expand your image, necessarily reducing its resolution. Digital zoom may be handy for giving you a close-up view in the viewfinder or on the viewscreen, but the photographer must remember that picture quality shot with digital zoom may be compromised. POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP U:P
Don't Be Fooled by Digital Zoom in Digital Photography?
In digital photography, there are a number of features that are thrown into consumer-grade cameras as "selling points." These selling points add no value to the camera, but appear impressive. One of these features is digital zoom. Some cameras may boast an 800X digital zoom. However, the image at 800X is so grainy and indecipherable that you won't be able to make out what it is anyway. It's important to remember that the only important zoom is optical zoom. If you do end up using digital zoom, make sure to only go barely beyond the range of the optical zoom.
