Yes, “Digital” sounds better, that’s why the marketing people uses that term all over the place. In the case of zoom and image stabilization, “digital” and “electronic” is what you want to avoid.

Very well written! When I read things like this I become more and more the “know-it-all.” I look into the subject because I had a debate with a friend who thought that digital zoom makes optical zoom obsolete, dubiously because the term “digital” sounds more advance in today’s digital world I lost out on the argument. However, can you guess who will buy the better camera?

I understood what you explained and I am thinking the purpose and deciding which zoom should I use. I hope tomorrow I will go & buy the appropriate camera.

This is great way of taking and explaining a topic. After reading through this, everyone should be clear of all doubts, as I do.
