Optical Zoom: n. The use of a camera lens that can vary its focal length. Optical zoom is the preferred method of magnifying an image for digital photographers because it doesn't negatively affect image quality, as does digital zoom. Optical zoom lenses physically extend to magnify your subject. It uses the internal glass elements of the lens to bring an image in closer, and record over the entire digital sensor of the camera, at full resolution.Usually these lens are much [|larger] than your typical camera lens. This allows you to get a clearer picture rather than on a regular [|small disposable camera]. Many people confuse optical zoom with [|digital zoom]but they are not the same. Digital zoom crops your image and magnifies the result of the cropping.If you look at the picture below you can see how the optical zoom is a little more clearer than the digital zoom. Make sure when getting a camera you get one that can either disable the digital zoom or doesn't have it at all. However if you only really print out pictures that are 4 X 6 this doesn't really effect you that much.
