A optical zoom use the lenses to focus in on a subject, pretty much the same way binoculars work. Digital zoom magnifies the subject by enlarging in in the pic thru a digital process, this is not a true type of zoom.

How much difference is there between a x50 zoom and x60 zoom on a digital camera?
You will have an image about 20% larger at x60, but there is catch. Usually magnification of that amount is a combination of the optical zoom and digital zoom. The total obtained by multiplying. With digital zoom, the quality will likely decrease faster as the magnification increases. So normally, the optical zoom will go to maximum before the digital zoom begins to operate. So if the x50 has 10x optical and then 5x digital, it could produce a better image than 6x optical with 10x digital zoom (unless the optics are not that great). It's good to know which is which. See if you can find reviews on both.

Digital image is depending on the camera resolotion, where optical image depends on the quality of the film. Normally an optical image will be better then a digital image, unless you are using high end digital camera. I hope this helps, Icko www.rtgallery.com

Optical zoom is way better than digital zoom as digital only expands the picture. Optical zoom actually zooms in.
Difference between optical zoom and digital zoom?
Optical zoom uses lenses to focus on objects further away... it is the lenses which do the 'zooming'. Digital zoom is where a photo is taken using the same set of lenses all the time and using software to enlarge the picture.
