Digital Zoom

I don't know about you, but I've always been disappointed in the "digital zoom" option offered on our other digital cams. But this one, I must say, is highly impressive. The cute cam has a 3x optical zoom, which is great, and then a 12x digital zoom. Here are some pics so you can see how it works.

Here we have the subject (the baby shoe) at a distance of appx 5 feet with no zoom:


With the optical (lens) zoom on it's highest - 3x.


Digital zoom at 5.8x


Digital zoom at 9x


Digial zoom at 12x - the other cams I've had with this feature, at this point, the image is grainy and just poor. But this is nice.


Here are some other fun shots I got today:

(if you can guess what this is, I'll send you a little something)
