Is it optical or digital zoom or both?

Digital and not good at all. This camera is pretty silly and expensive.... I'd suggest not to buy. I work with vivotek instead of toshiba: a better choice in my opinion

It is digital zoom. It has only one optical resolution Pan and tilt, however, is mechanically controlled. So it is "real", not just a section of a larger image, as in other cameras. From the user manual "This Network Camera supports "digital zoom" and "mechanical" pan/tilt control."

Digital zoom only, with fairly wide steps. The lens/CCD quality is good and clear. I am looking for color/kelvin temp adjustment and control as it seems to only self adjust for lightning temp.

is a 7x Optical zoom, but my camera doesn't work since 1 month ago, so i don't recommend you purchase that camera.

It is a digital zoom with digital pan/tilt. The image is pretty grainy, but some detail comes through. For example, I mounted the cameras far enough away for both of my kids so I can see their entire beds. I use the zoom to see if their eyes are open or closed.

From SD990 Users Manual (p 100):'You can use the digital zoom, but the optical zoom cannot be used. If you want to shoot at the maximum magnification, you should adjust the zoom to the maximal factor before shooting. The sound from the zoom will be recorded'So really, it is just like many other cheaper P&S; cameras, you can only use digitial zoom in movie mode. Digital zoom will degrade image quality considerably.Here is the link to the manual: http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/0300001398/PSSD990IS_IXUS980IS_CUG_EN.pdf

I've never used the Zoom but it looks like it has mics and storage for the recording. The Art solves a different problem as it is a DAC: it is converting 2 channels of analog to digital and 2 channels of digital to analog. The analog connections are XLR and 1/4"; digital is a USB to your computer. It has no mics and no storage.

Missy, Please see: http://www.digitalsecrets.net/Sony/AdvancedKnow5-SZ.html It's a bit complicated, but the simple version is that Sony's Smart Zoom tries to limit your digital zoom to a level that doesn't degrade the image quality significantly. Please note that this doesn't have anything to do with optical zoom. It's simply making sure that you don't over-do the digital zoom to the detriment of the image (which is easy to do with some cameras). I don't use digital zoom as I do that cropping in PhotoShop Elements (not too expensive) or Picasa (free).

With standard digital zoom, pictures captured by the image sensor of the camera are enlarged using digital signal processing. Therefore, as the magnification level increases, signals to be estimated also increase and can reduce the image quality. When using Clear Image Zoom, however, zoomed images are captured close to the original quality when shooting a still picture. The camera first zooms to the maximum optical magnification, then uses Clear Image Zoom technology to enlarge the image an additional 2x, producing sharp clear images despite the increased zoom ratio. The Smart Zoom feature allows images to be zoomed without losing picture quality. The central part of the picture is trimmed and enlarged without image processing.

No zoom, I only had this magnifier for three months and sold it. It stretched my red dot. I now have the Burris 3x magnifier. The glass is way better and clear. And it adjust, it's just a little more on price but lines up good with my Eotech. I also bought the Burris flip to side mount too. Go with burris I put it up there with eotech and aim point but way cheaper.

No, there's a tele zoom in it's accesories buy I don't recommend it, if you want to play with lenses buy a DSLR, they're pricier but it's worth it.

I believe the optical zoom is the only difference. It is 24x vs. 30x optical zoom.

x3 optical zoom with the included lens. x2 digital zoom for still and x4 digital zoom for motion. Optical zoom can be more, less or none depending upon the lens attached.I use mine mostly with the 14mm. Sweet setup for general purpose.

Hello, the 10x digital zoom is the same in all POV modes. Check out my youtube vid for an idea of what a 10x zoom is like. The object is around 15 yards away just for reference. Cheershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33YENYtaxZI

The digital zoom may only be turned on in Normal, Scn1, Scn2 or Movie mode.Press 'Menu/Set' -> Select Digital Zoom off/on

There is a indentation about mid way through the device. You'll see a series of parallel vertical striations of sorts moving from left To right. That is your magnification knob. It's really my only complaint about the device. It should've been a digital zoom.

4x, which is a little bit of magnification. The zoom is not an adjustable amount by the way.
