What is the difference between Optical Zoom and Digital Zoom? What camera has the max zoom?
I am looking for a camera that deep zoom (at least 10x) Any websites of discount digital cameras you recommend? I had a Konica Minolta (film) that was good but what is a good one for a digital camera? I also had a kodak (digital Cam.) it was decent.
Here’s an article that has a good explanation of the difference between optical/digital zoom:

The camera with the largest zoom range (without changing lenses) is the Olympus SP550 w/ 18x zoom.
