digital zoom

Nope , "cropping" does not use a smaller part of the sensor , the "cropping" is because the sensor is not the same size as full frame film. You get a x 1.6 factor because you are using the (field of view of the lens) divided by (the ratio of sensor to film size)


(I like Raymonds loo roll analogy , may have to steal it )

Maybe I didn't make myself clear - I was referring to cropping the picture using a picture editing package, not the so-called "crop factor" of most DSLR sensors.

if the person has one of those little photo printers that you can buy as a package with the digicam and just goes from cam to printer without a PC, then digital zoom is of use.
but for those of use that us the PC, then its of no use.
